This artwork came from a moment of wanting to do something different. While I usually paint landscapes, seascapes and streetscapes, I felt drawn to create something more playful, expressive and free.

At the same time, I was navigating my journey with breast cancer. It was a season that felt heavy and uncertain, and this piece became a way of moving through that - a quiet shift from winter into spring, and a way of holding onto hope.

The florals bring a sense of renewal and light, while the bumble bees reflect a personal connection to my childhood - the bush, home, and the feeling of being surrounded by nature.

The colours and movement speak to hope, healing, and finding your way to a better place.

I hope this piece resonates with you, and serves as a gentle reminder that even through difficult seasons, there is always hope ahead.
