--------------------
Towards the end of 2023, much transpired; both joyful and heartbreaking, challenging and freeing, and, in the midst of it all, I began to make flower paintings. I worked freely, choosing bold colours at whim, adding patterns and motifs to vases and tablecloths freehand and overall, extending my sketchbook play, outside of my sketchbook.

2024 is the start of opportunity and continued change; a chance to plant the seeds, and take care of them; where I give myself time and space to take root, to flower and bloom. I am turning my face towards the sun. This is the (my) year of the flower.
