about me:
Welcome! My name is Flora and I am an artist.
I create conceptual and narrative works often containing themes of imagination, nature and nostalgia.
I focus on developing pieces using decorative and textural elements, sometimes combining digital and traditional media.
Currently residing in BC
Want to work together? Because I think we’d make cool stuff :)

The media are not toys… they can be entrusted only to new artists, because they are art forms.
(McLuhan, 1954)
Pictures surrounding the main image are objects lost somewhere in the world. Find each one hidden inside the acorn workshop.
Sleeping acorn
Through a display of 11 traditionally painted (watercolour, gouache, pencil crayon) illustrations, all varying in size and arranged around a main image, this project tells the story of an acorn that has a long dream. Rather than becoming a tree, the acorn houses a princess who finds lost items and cares for them in her workshop. She preserves the items in colourful wrappers, glass cases, and containers until they find their way back home.
Prevelant themes to be explored are preservation, memory, and creativity. Do things just disappear when we lose them?
