Last year, I had the opportunity to work with Dusk Australia on some artworks for their packaging for Mother’s Day 2020 and a range of botanical fragrances and candles. It is always lovely to be asked to collaborate on a project and always so much to be learned during the process. One of the hardest parts for me is not being able to share the work until it is released - I usually always post photos of works in progress as I go so at these times, I continue to take snaps as i work but have to save them all up until the project is finished.

Finally, I have gathered together a selection of phone snaps of the paintings in progress as well as some of the colour roughs and product shots from Dusk. Credit must be given to the stylist and photographer for the professional images and to the graphic designer from Dusk who worked all my paintings and individual flowers together to create these final works.

I was given a brief for four different botanically inspired designs with a different range of flowers and colours for each. Perhaps one of the most challenging parts for me was working within a defined colour palette. Of course there was certainly room to add my own thoughts and ideas on colours but knowing that the pieces needed to be able to work together as a collection was always in my mind. I am generally not good at sticking to a limited number of colours and always want to add a few more! The best part of course is getting to see the final products and how it all comes together.
