Oil on canvas, box framed in raw oak.

Capturing the essence and wonder of the environment she lives and works in is the underlying current of Alicia Cornwell’s art works. Still life in oils enables a transference of the botanicals from her own garden and surrounding national parks, botanic gardens and Melbourne’s flower growing area.

Combined with her collection of fabrics, trinkets and wonders from the past collected over her years as a Vintage Merchant, she enmeshes them together to tell a story of the natural and humankind stretch towards beauty through object and flower. With each canvas a narrative of quintessence both fleeting and longer lived for all to enjoy.
