a bit about bushwalk bouquets

In 2021 I began a series of mixed media works that were inspired by walks through my local bushland.

Walking helped me through a season of my life where I needed to reflect, process some past hurts and traumas, and practice mindfulness - learning to be present in my here & now helped me deal with anxiety - instead of walking and getting lost down the rabbit-hole of anxious thoughts, I learned to use my senses to appreciate my surroundings and this in turn really sparked creativity and joy.

The bushland offers up an arrangement of botanicals that I think are a reflection of our lives - messy yet beautiful.

These mixed media botanicals are treasures to me - the result of much healing and creative exploration.
