Artist: Katrina Pete
Katrina Pete’s painting, Dancing Light, beautifully captures the strength and delicacy of nature with sunlight dancing across the petals, bringing them to life. Pete’s artistic process is deeply rooted in her love for gardening. She draws inspiration from the changing colors and light in her garden, using quick, impressionistic brushstrokes to convey the movement and vitality of the flowers. Her style has evolved over time, shifting from detailed realism to a looser, more expressive approach. Inspired by artists like Monet and Cheng Khee Chee, Pete’s work celebrates the cycle of life, capturing the resilience and beauty of flowers as symbols of growth, patience and the natural world.
