The Herbarium
Tina-Marié works with the seasons and paints what is growing at that time. She is naturally drawn to the plant names of her mother tongue, Afrikaans. It’s the delicate vulnerability of the poppy or the nastursium that attracts her, but also their strength and endurance. She focuses on capturing their finest qualities, sometimes even carefully dissecting small stamens, interpreting how they make her feel, rather than taking a photorealistic approach.
