After eight years working internationally as a fashion designer, Saffron began the transition into art, having always been pulled towards creative expression;

“I’ve spent the last few years refining printing techniques that allow me to create ghostly, ethereal layered images using mostly botanical sources. As well as the native flora, I use non-native plant forms, as these gently affirm the migratory patterns [and adventurous yearnings!] of many life forms.

With my work, I am trying to capture a moment of beauty. This moment is just one aspect of the cycle of life preceding the sadness of decay, return to the ether and regeneration of all organic matter. The majority of the pieces are originals, as I’m favouring the uniqueness of monotype, where the image exists for a single print only, again capturing the ephemeral nature of life.

I hope to offer a sense of aesthetic balance and harmony that stimulates the observer and offers a chance to examine their own personal dialogue and achieve a sense of equilibrium.”

Saffron has lived, worked and presented her work in London, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Sydney. Her artwork has also been shown in France, Spain and Miami and used in television commercials in Australia.

Now residing in the lush, full sensory environment of the Sunshine Coast, she continues to develop and expand a worldwide clientele of corporate and private clients, and will be showing in England later this year.
