About The Print

This artwork is part of a collection inspired by my grandma. After my poppy passed away, my grandma always said a white butterfly would visit her in the garden, and she liked to think it was him. A week after we talked about it, a white butterfly turned up at my family home too. When my grandma passed, I kept looking for a sign. Eventually, I saw a white butterfly outside, and then further down the driveway, a big swallowtail orchid butterfly appeared. That’s when I knew both of them were close by.

Around the same time, wattle was blooming everywhere. The butterflies, along with the pink leaves, were painted into this piece. While wattle leaves are green in real life, the pink is a quiet nod to my grandma, who loved pink more than anything.
