La Dolce Vita Collection

“The La Dolce Vita series is inspired by the warm light, golden earth shades and the pink skies of rural Italy, inspired by time spent wandering in sun-drenched fields, beneath green cypress trees and through ancient olive groves.”

The Botanical Collection

Whilst I am predominantly a Landscape Painter, I have always had a fascination with Floriography or the language of flowers. I like hidden meanings that possibly only I will know. The paintings in this collection capture many moods and personal memories but I hope the viewer experiences the same fizzy feeling of pure joy that you get when you receive an unexpected bouquet from someone who cares about you.
