Hydrangeas hold a special place in mychildhood and adult memories. Growing up, my Mum’s love for gardening meant there were always beautiful flower arrangements in our home. What better way to celebrate these cherished memories than through a painting adorned with delicate waterdrops? This artwork is part of the collaborative exhibition Meticulous Harmony, created alongside glass artist Kristin McFarlane. Kristin has meticulously hand-embedded hydrangea leaves with silver leaf into glass, forming a stunning chandelier-like arrangement that beautifully complements the hydrangea painting’s composition. Together, our work merges the precision of photo-realistic painting with the elegance of glass artistry, honoring nature and shared memories in perfect harmony.
