BEHIND THE design
A grand floral statement
Meryl admired the richness and theatre of Dutch floral still-life art, and her Crimson Gold painting carries that influence beautifully. Native flowers spill from the vase in a generous, layered arrangement where bold forms, delicate details and glowing colour all compete for attention.
What makes the work so distinctive is the contrast between that old-world sense of abundance and the unmistakably Australian flowers at its heart. Over time, Crimson Gold has become one of the defining images within the Wildflowers collection, much loved for its warmth, richness and presence.
