Artwork Gallery - Nature as my source

of inspiration

Garden Design Atelier serves as the confluence of creativity, imagination and nature’s wonders. The synergy between nature and art is undeniable. Within my atelier and artwork gallery, I dedicate myself to both garden design and painting endeavours, both of which are creative realms that require imagination.

Oil paintings, acrylic paintings, watercolours, drawing and pen work

While some artists find inspiration in bustling cities, its symphony of sounds, its fragrances, and their rhythms, I draw mine from the heart of serene countryside. Here, I find solace in the melodies of animals grazing in surrounding meadows, the fresh air I breathe, and the panorama of rolling hills adorned with an array of green hues or warm tones, shifting with the seasons.

Though my art isn’t confined to nature alone, it is the essence of nature that resonates most deeply with me. In its embrace, I feel most authentically myself, rooted and connected. This feeling fuels my sketches, drawings, and paintings across various mediums. My work flows both from commissioned projects and the spur of the moment, allowing inspiration to guide me. Predominantly focused on oil painting and acrylic painting, I’m increasingly drawn to explore watercolours, drawing with pencil, and pen work, and motifs that nature unfurls.
