Chinese Ink Painting 'Peas' - Origional Art Work

I created this garden-themed collection for Bloom 2025.

I have always been drawn to ritual—how people tend to their everyday practices, and the quiet, nurturing aspect of how we care for things over time. There is something deeply human in these moments of attention and repetition.

Peas are part of a simple, seasonal rhythm—grown in the garden and picked as they ripen, often shared as a small family ritual. The act of harvesting becomes playful and hands-on, moving through rows, opening pods, and tasting them fresh from the plant.

There is a directness to this moment: the plant, the hand, and the act of eating all connected in one continuous gesture. It is a reminder of how food can be both everyday and joyful, shaped by time spent together.

In their bright green colour and repeating forms, peas also carry a visual language of abundance and growth, marking the slower, cyclical nature of the garden.

Size: approx 300 x 300 mm

Material: Ink on Xuan paper (natural fibre). Due to the nature of the material, slight texture, buckling, or creasing may occur as part of the process. Works are sold unframed and can be flattened/stretched and framed on request with additional cost. Each piece carries my red seal.
