Moreton Bay Art Prize
..Basilea is the colourful artwork from the hands of Rachel, who has been painting the majority of her life. It came about after attending one of Sarah Heath’s edible flower workshops at Basilea Living Herbs in Burpengary. Rachel was inspired by Sarah’s enthusiasm and the many flowers growing around her and thought it would make a great painting. “Usually, I will see an idea or composition and get a strong feeling if it needs to be created,” Rachel said. “ It doesn’t always have reasoning, but that develops through the creation process. We both realised it was a reflection of motherhood, how she arrived to now, motherhood, womanhood, femininity and supporting women in business. “All I wanted was for this painting to reach a wider audience and bring some joy to the viewer. The prize will allow this opportunity for it to be seen again.” Written By Sheree Hoddinett
