Exhibition: ‘Late Bloomer’

‘Late Bloomer’ was a solo exhibition of my floral and pond themed oil paintings, celebrating my return to painting after a 20+ year break. 

It was held at Gallery9 onBraid in Hamilton during Feb/March 2026. 

“I let my art go and it came back to me.
My garden has taught me that when we are ready, we all have the capacity to bloom again and again.”– Esther
