Inspiration/Statement - to appear on wall card: The delicate petals and vibrant colors, are nature’s way of whispering sentiments of beauty, grace, and adoration. Each bloom, whether a passionate red rose or a gentle white lily, holds a deeper meaning, a silent token of admiration that speaks to the heart. They are more than just gifts; they are symbols of affection that convey the emotions words sometimes cannot reach.

Inspired by the spirit of creativity and resilience, Frida in Bloom embodies beauty, strength, artistry, and the timeless allure of flowers. Frida in Bloom is a celebration of a life lived with passion and full of colour.

Inspiration/Statement - to appear on wall card: “Fragments of Meadows” evokes the season of blooming through a dynamic interplay of bold colour and subdued background tones. This triptych presents an abstracted vision of nature, where vibrant petals stand in contrast to the structured, geometric shapes of sky and earth in blues and greens. The composition embraces the idea of fragmented memory—each panel a fleeting impression rather than a complete scene. The piece is not meant as a perfect representation but as an almost incomplete memory, inviting viewers to find something familiar within the unknown.

Inspiration/Statement - to appear on wall card: This painting began as a playful exploration in acrylic, where rich, moody darkness became the perfect stage for luminous florals to emerge. The deep contrast pulled me in, creating a sense of depth and quiet intensity that lingered in my mind—urging me to translate it into cold wax and oil. I’m drawn to the idea of developing a floral style that feels both open and untamed, abstract yet evocative. Lately, I’ve been immersing myself in the poetic last blooms of Manet, the intricate beauty crafted by the women of the Dutch Golden Age, and the dynamic visions of contemporary Canadian painters, all of which weave their influence into my evolving work.
