“As an artist who paints flowers, I started my career focusing on close-up images of carnations, begonias, and mums in earthy tones. Following a move to a light-filled home, begonias in soft, airy tones, began to find their way onto my canvases. Then, after painting pansies for Canada Post, I became inspired by colour and started to focus more on peonies, hydrangeas, tulips, and dahlias. If I had to choose, peonies would be my favourite flower, but dahlias, with all their stunning varieties, have recently captured my heart. Being an artist who paints flowers has been a fulfilling way to share my love of nature. I hope you enjoy viewing my body of work!” — Laurie
