"Thank God I have the seeing eye — that is to say, as I lie in bed I can walk step by step on the fells and rough land seeing every stone and flower and patch of bog and cotton pass where my old legs will never take me again." — Beatrix Potter

About the Exhibition
Petal After Petal is a personal journey told through oil on canvas. Each painting weaves together florals and landscapes—some are real places I’ve stood in, others exist only in my imagination. They are all spaces I long to be in: calm, open, quietly alive.
The title Petal After Petal speaks to the slow, intentional process behind each piece. Every brushstroke is deliberate, and every painting is the result of many hours spent layering detail upon detail. There’s something captivating in the way the florals unfold across the canvas—soft, and intricate. Each piece reminds me to slow down and to appreciate the quiet, beautiful moments that often go unnoticed.
Petal After Petal is not just about flowers or places—it’s about me, growing as an artist, and learning how to express that growth on canvas. Painting these scenes has helped me reflect on who I am, who I’ve been, and the artist I hope to become. This is the kind of artist I want to be—thoughtful, intentional, and connected to beauty in the quietest of ways. A window into the places that bring me peace and the creative process that grounds me. I hope viewers can step into these painted spaces and find a moment of stillness for themselves, just as I did while creating them.
