They simply stretch towards the light when it is their time and Happily bask in the limelight - the sunlight. The text hidden within this piece says \"what a beautiful time to grow\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Flowers in the Limelight\" is a celebration of self-expression and a reminder that we too are allowed to take up space, be seen and share our gifts with the world without apology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated as part of my latest collection exploring humanity, presence and the joy of real life, this piece honours the courage required to show up fully as ourselves and trust that we are enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePainted with expressive brushwork, layered colour and visible hand-made marks, the piece embraces the beauty of the hand.

A pinch of maximalism adds a fun yet elevated essence to the work and the poppy colours such as the lime and royal blues in the piece add an eclectic flare to the palette. A balance of fun loving and hard working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFRAMING \u0026amp; PRESENTATION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame is not an afterthought — it is an extension of the artwork itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnable to find a commercial framing finish that I felt truly complemented the tones within this collection, I sourced a beautiful Japanese brown stain and hand-finished each Tasmanian Oak frame in my studio.
