Collection: Lisa Ridgway "Flower Show"

Flower Show celebrates the perfection of natural beauty often in a single bloom. That single bloom is enough. It is replicated by using the

same conical flask across the amazing variety of natural beauty that we have around us all the time in backyards, in neighbourhoods and of

course in specialist floral outlets.

This exhibition was originally inspired by the annual Maclean flower show and the willingness of Sonya Hayes to share with me some of the

fruits of her own amazing award-wining garden. Thank you Sonya!

I am often asked about process. I chose the conical flask for its simplicity and its multi-purpose use, including in science labs across our

schools. During the course of the year, as seasons changed, so did the opportunity to choose different subjects, from Australian natives to

the brightest of seasonal blooms. The beauty of the subject is transferred across to the canvass through a mix of colour, shadow and light.

The challenge is of course replicating that natural perfection.
