The image of my botanical painting ‘Sacred Lotus’ was also used for the exhibition promotions, flyers, and invitations and the design team did a most wonderful honouring my work!
This Lotus botanical painting is one of several major works created from a my time in residency in the wetlands of Far North Queensland. It represents the lotus that sweep through this spectacular region, reminding me of the fragility, sheer beauty and endurance of our wild country. I am very proud to see this piece honoured so beautifully in this event.
