Cherry Blossom Art Exhibition April 2026

Cherry blossoms represent beauty, magic, nostalgia and transformation, and when you need your spirits lifted, their delicate petals dazzle you. Extensively planted in Edinburgh during the 1930s to 1950s, they brightening up our parks, gardens and streets every Spring.

Known as ‘Sakura’ in Japan, the tradition of travelling to view the blooms stretches back over 1,000 years. People practise the ritual of ‘Hanami’ a ceremony that is commonly known as “flower viewing” and is simply the ancient practice of gazing upon the flowers.

When the world, and our lives, are a little crazy, I invite you to find a moment of peace and calm gazing at my cherry blossoms during a new solo exhibition from 22-26 April at Cockburn Collective in Leith - right next to the Foot of the Walk tram stop.

Open from 10:00 - 16:00 each day, I will be exhibiting and selling a selection of original paintings, framed prints and works on paper.
