Take a close look at the flowers and you might see more than you expect…

We all got really sick of pots. However, there’s something lovely about them so I’ve re-visited pots for this simple but elegant work.

It was wonderful to experience the real outback and I was inspired by the colours and epic scale of our great land to create this pallette knife work.

Having done their job in helping to create art, the eggs ended up in a very delicious cake!
