“Colours and shapes make a more definite statement than words.”
– Georgia O’Keeffe

As I wandered through all kinds of landscapes, I trained my eyes to see beyond the ordinary, allowing vibrant hues and striking forms that seem to say more than words ever could.

 Holiday Hues is my first collection shaped entirely by the places and spaces I’ve wandered through, both close to home and far beyond.
