Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus

Artichoke Reaching Left was created at Auckland Botanic Gardens during my recent residency focusing on the beauty of edible plants.  As an artist, I am driven by an obsession with the natural world and the freshness and luminosity of watercolour on beautiful paper.  My object is to connect the viewer to the beauty found in close observation of a plant. 

 My personal challenge is to capture the personality of the subject accurately and to reveal a previously unconsidered perspective.  Artichokes have a captivating structure and a definite point of view which makes this particularly fun.
