Hidden Leaf Collection

The Hidden Leaf Collection is a series of original botanical paintings created on hand-prepared raw linen. Each piece begins with 100% linen canvas, sealed with clear gesso to preserve the natural warmth, texture, and quiet irregularities of the fabric. The linen is then hand-stretched by the artist over high-quality Jack Richeson kiln-dried pine stretcher bars. Soft washes, delicate line work, layered colour, and botanical forms move across the exposed linen surface, allowing the canvas itself to become part of the composition.

Look closely — each painting in this collection holds a tiny hidden leaf. Similar to a small vine leaf, it appears quietly within every piece and serves as a subtle thread connecting the series.
