Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork
These three postcards are original oil paintings that are miniature versions of some of my favourite floral pieces. Daffodils feature heavily in my works because they bring me so much joy as we transition out of the coldest, darkest months. This particular flower is significant to my practice as it highlights the transience of the seasons, being such a recognisable flower that can take many forms as I manipulate its movement around the canvas.
