Ornate Saffron

Description

Ornate Saffron is a bold piece. I have framed this canvas work with a white wooden frame and it’s dimensions are 74cm (wide) x 53cm (tall). The painting is finished in high gloss resin.

I created this painting while my husband and son were away in India playing cricket. I imagined the wonderful culture and cuisine they would be enjoying, and this work came out of my reading and research of the country. Saffron is known for its use in Indian cooking and this vibrant and colourful spice was also an inspiration for the colour palette used in this work.

A bit more about me…

I create my artwork from a stand-alone studio at my home in Churton Park, Wellington. My dreams came true in 2021 when I had the studio built.  I had always longed to work from home in a purpose build space. This is because a lot of my inspiration come from my home environment.

After working in a career in corporate communications and marketing for many years I turned my attention towards my true passion.  Art making is where my heart lies.  Proudly self-taught I have graduated from painting in a part time capacity to now working as a full-time artist.  Regularly exhibiting, accepting commissions and developing my professional practice have been the positive consequence of this shift.

A bit more about my work…

My authentic mixed media style artwork focuses on the beauty of nature, and predominantly on florals.

I use mixed media techniques to develop my work.  Using these techniques, I work to translate delicate blooms into vibrant and energetic pieces using a feminine colour palette. The main areas of focus for me are colour, shape and composition. It is the combination of these elements that make my work recognisable.

I enjoy sharing my process and my work in progress on my social media accounts.
