Veronica is drawn to the simplicity of limited palettes and the vivid textures of oil paint. Her inspirations are as varied as the rippling patterns of the Derwent River, shifting cloud formations, musical melodies, and the imagery of dreams.
Veronica’s art reflects her explorative spirit, capturing the essence of the natural world and the profound emotions woven through human existence. Each piece invites viewers on a vivid, spontaneous, and unconventional journey, encouraging them to look beyond the surface and connect with the wonder of life.
