Daisy Sun, 2025. Acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas, 50 x 50 cm/ 19.65 inches,
$974
Ships from New Zealand
Inspired by the lyrics of the Beatles song: Mother Nature's Son' this painting is a depiction of the beauty of the simple things around us, and a story about taking time to contemplate and connect with nature. The sun is symbolic of life, light, warmth and power as well as hope and renewal. Daisies symbolise innocence, purity, joy and new beginnings. It is often when we experience a deep connection with nature, that we feel these qualities glow within ourselves.
"Find me in my field of grass. Mother Nature's Son. Swaying daisies, sing a lazy song beneath the sun.' (Lennon/ McCartney)

Joy Alchemy, 2025. Acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas, 50 x 50 cm/ 19.65 inches,40 x 40 cm/ 15.7 x 15.7 inches,
$871
Ships from New Zealand
The three sorcerers from the realm of transformation gather together when the light from the magician's moon shines brightly and the enchanted rabbits fly their magic through the air. Between moon-meetings, their cauldron is filled with earth-stories of doubt and fear and any thoughts that do not align with joy.
This cauldron bubbles softly and awaits the sorcerers to bring their transformation magick to turn each negative thought into a rainbow of hope, promise, happiness and wonder. These transformed thoughts soar from the cauldron like beams of joy and their alchemy flows into the people who need it most on earth. These rainbows then remind each person that they can turn a thought or situation around at any time and transform it from their doubt-cauldron, into a joy rainbow.
