The Messenger Collection: Nature’s Messages in Watercolour

The Messenger collection was born from the idea that nature has its own way of communicating with us.

In this series, a butterfly appears in every painting as a small messenger, carrying a feeling from the heart of nature to the heart of the viewer. Each piece pairs the butterfly with a botanical element, carefully chosen for its symbolism.

Peace is represented by the olive branch, a universal symbol of harmony and reconciliation, not only in the world around us but also within ourselves.

Love takes shape through pink tulips, chosen for their association with tenderness, devotion and affection. Because love is what keeps us going.

Friendship is expressed through sweet peas, a tribute to the friends who become family. I called it The Friendship Garden for a reason: it is about the kind of bond that grows over time, like a garden tended with care.

And Hope blooms through daffodils, often among the first flowers to appear after winter. They have long been seen as a symbol of hope and renewal, a promise that light returns, even after months of darkness.

Together, these paintings form a visual language, one that speaks of connection, care, and the feelings that keep us moving forward.

My hope is that the viewer connects with at least one message, and perhaps sees their own story reflected in it.
