In 'Emerging Light', I explore the beauty of Australian flowers through a fresh and contemporary colour palette. The soft periwinkle background creates a sense of calm, allowing vibrant protea and banksias to emerge with warmth and energy. By simplifying forms and focusing on colour, I aim to capture the joy, growth, and renewal found in nature. This work celebrates the beauty of transformation and the optimism of new beginnings.
