Tea with Roses

Drawing inspiration from the pond, garden, and the stately sycamore tree just beyond her studio, Lisa Hardy’s new series explores the shifting interplay of light, color, and growth. Recurrent abstract floral forms drift through each composition, evoking the pulse and texture of nature without seeking to imitate it. Hardy's painterly, gestural mark-making carries a sense of movement and vitality—an echo of both the natural world and the creative act itself.

Together, these works invite viewers to linger in a verdant, imagined space where observation and intuition converge, and where the quiet magic of the organic world unfolds in abstract form.
