'Sturt's Desert Rose' draws from beauty of wildflowers in the Australian Landscape. Sturt's Desert Rose is the official floral emblem of the Northern territory- it has flowers in shades of pink with a dark centre.

These beautiful blooms are set against Mount Sonder/ Rwetyepme in the NT.
 
The sun's light filters through the flowers and along the mountain edges, creating a captivating golden glow. This is metallic gold leaf gilding adding a touch of luxury. As the light shifts, the gold shimmers and dances, creating a dynamic visual experience. - it changes depending on the angle of the light/ and as you walk past it.

The artwork features a beautiful interplay of light and shadow, achieved through layers of acrylic, ink, pastel and gold leaf on canvas.
