Why do I paint ?

To put it simply painting is a way to express my emotions, thoughts, and ideas that are difficult to communicate otherwise.

Why Flowers ?

After a long break from painting flowers has been my first study

Flowers have long been a subject for artists and designers.

Flowers are an important part of out lives.

Flowers are given as an expression of emotion for example

Love and effection

Gratitude

Sympathy

Congratulations and celebration

Flowers are beautiful and temporary - giving them is a poetic gesture that acknowledges the fleeting nature of special moments
