- An up-close, vibrant view of a beloved Australian native flower
- The layered texture & raw brush strokes in this piece symbolise the strength & hardiness of the protea, itself named after Poseidon, the Greek god of strength & diversity. The dark background helps to ground the flower, establishing its earthy roots.
- Their resilience always inspires me as they seem to just dig deep & not only survive but thrive which seems to me like an awesome metaphor for life!
