I have a lovely connection to my garden. I’m in and out often and can look back through floor to ceiling windows at what I’m painting while pottering in my natural space. I studied visual arts over thirty years ago. My art practice moved to working and teaching in ceramics studios. My love for foliage and flowers continued and I moved into florist mode for 10years. Happily I’ve been back painting for the past four years.  I paint floral abstracts because I love building layers of illuminated acrylic colours. The vessels are gently textured and layered with shades of colour poking through.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Flowers’s are my splashes of fun and colour and that’s where I get to play. My flowers are on the quirky side of things. You’re kind of left guessing what sort of flowers they might be. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI’m painting intuitively, using loose brush strokes, scratchings and the feeling from colours.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/2647\/6120\/collections\/IMG_3550-DavidHinchliffe_ae8c4e70-d96c-4f83-ae83-f50e6da02e21.webp?v=1780282912","url":"https:\/\/nudgee-arts-gala.myshopify.com\/collections\/cathy-usatoff-copy.oembed","provider":"Nudgee Arts Gala","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
