‘I create exquisite, refined still life oil paintings

inspired by the subtleties of light, form,

and the numinous details of the natural world.’

- Trish Mitchell

‘ethereal grace’ (orchid i)

Original oil on stretched linen.
80cm x 63cm
Unframed.

A study in stillness, light, and restraint.

In Ethereal Grace, two white orchid blooms reach quietly into the dark — not only delicate, but composed, luminous, self-contained. The petals carry a glow that feels internal rather than reflected, their presence holding space rather than demanding it.

This painting is not a portrait of a flower, but of a moment: still, slow, and layered with emotion. There is intimacy here — not sentimentality — and a sense that time itself has softened around the edges.

Created with a deep respect for craftsmanship and form, Ethereal Grace is a meditation on quiet beauty. A future heirloom for those who find sanctuary in the subtle, and richness in the calm.

‘EMERGENCE’ (Sakura II)

Original oil on stretched linen.
90cm x 140cm
Unframed.

A study in slow becoming.

In Emergence, a branch extends with quiet certainty — blossom unfolding from bark, form reaching into light. It is a painting about rhythm and restraint, about the quiet energy held in transition.

There is strength here, but no urgency. Each bloom is painted with luminous clarity, grounded in stillness, and composed with emotional intent. The blackened branch, gnarled and strong, makes space for the bloom and the bud — a tension held with grace.

Selected for exhibition by the Royal Institute of Oil Painters in 2024, this painting embodies the poetic edge of contemporary realism: precise, meditative, and emotionally grounded.

A piece for those who value presence over performance — and who understand that growth, like beauty, doesn’t rush.

‘Grounded in classical craft and shaped by a modern sensibility, my work is emotionally resonant, quietly powerful, and composed to evoke a sense of stillness. Designed to sit gracefully within thoughtful interiors, each piece is crafted with care — to endure, to inspire, and to become a future heirloom.’
