"'I would rather have Ten minutes of wonderful, than a lifetime of nothing special'

These paintings symbolise romance & love, where the flowers and the colour symbolise a statement of having a strong affection and love.

Flowers around us were once important symbols of our deepest emotions, and people's affections. Even today, flowers are there to express our emotions, and to send an important message out to the world. Sometimes, this message is clear but other times we have to look deeper into the symbolic meaning of a flower to understand this message. For myself, this subject represents a positive view of life. When looking at my work, the paintings represent various emotions of joy, gratitude, pride and love." (excerpt, exhibition statement)
