Part of a collection of paintings featuring hand-painted wooden flowers and a contemporary way of approaching traditional still-life painting.

Most recently I have explored painting onto laser-cut wood. The process is cyclical and considered, and draws directly from my own sketches. Each wooden flower is sketched digitally and then refined down into a vector illustration before being laser-cut locally in Cornwall.

I am interested in the effect of isolation and suspension that a traditional still life is given by picking out and painting the flora and then framing this inside its own box frame. 

The painting measures 23 x 23cm and the frame is painted in Farrow & Ball Arsenic.
