I’m Tickled Pink and Green For You To Meet My Rainwater Series 2024!

“Enchantment is small wonder magnified through meaning, fascination caught in the web of fable and memory. It relies on small doses of awe, almost homeopathic: those quiet traces of fascination that are found only when we look for them. It is the sense that we are joined together in one continuous thread of existence with the elements constituting this earth, and that there is a potency trapped in this interconnection, a tingle on the border of our perception. It is the forgotten seam in our geology, the elusive particle that binds our unstable matter: the ability to sense magic in the everyday, to channel it through our minds and bodies, to be sustained by it.”

Romance With Rainwater

Romance With Rainwater

A pink book titled 'Neo-Romance' by Alexandra Streuli on a piano, with a framed abstract blue and white artwork and various framed paintings on the wall behind, in a living room with a wooden bookshelf and decorative items.

I created my new Rainwater Series entirely immersed in the piano music of Alexandra Stréliski's album, NEO-ROMANCE.

Each painting in the series corresponds to a track from her album, drawing inspiration from the titles and subtitles of her 14 compositions.

The paintings in this series are crafted in a frame-friendly size* of 10X8. If you’re purchasing one of the two landscape orientations, the size shifts in display to 8X10.


For an elegant display, I suggest frames from Crate and Barrel, which complement the delicate nuances of my rain watercolour paintings. I’ve created a video below to show you a few ideas using these frames.


*Please note: Frames are not included with your purchase.
