CACTUS HOUR

OUTRE GALLERY

APRIL 2025

I spent a blissful afternoon strolling through the Royal Botanic Gardens recently and took inspiration from the succulent garden for this small body of work. There are specimens from far flung and arid desert countries, jungles and rainforests. I was momentarily transported to exotic places like Morocco and Madagascar. The variety of shapes, colours and the sheer scale of the plants fascinated me. I had to explore their forms back in the studio to really get to know them and to deepen my appreciation of the incredible variety of plant life on our green planet.
