2025, acrylic and beads on canvas, 25.5 cm x 25.5 cm 

This work celebrates the beauty and resilience of Western Australian flora while reflecting my profound connection to place. The Geraldton Wax, with its delicate yet enduring blooms, and the Golden Wattle, symbolizing unity, vitality, and renewal, form the heart of a peaceful and contemplative piece that honours the natural environment.

Immersing myself in nature is a deeply grounding experience, allowing me to observe its intricate patterns, vibrant hues, and subtle fragrances. Through the use of beads and cotton string, I explore the interconnectedness of life, weaving a tactile representation of our bond with the natural world and our ability to find a sense of home within it.

The harmonious presence of the Geraldton Wax and Golden Wattle in their native landscapes inspires this work, inviting viewers to reconnect with the quiet beauty of nature and its grounding essence.
