fly on the wall with Flora Bowley








'My studio is a place of light, peace, inspiration and color.'










inside Flora's studio 







embrace mystery!

I often pin up treasures I find in nature, along with images, words and drawings for inspiration while I'm painting. 



I find deep solace in my studio space.  It's nurturing to my soul on every level.




  I have plenty of tea ready for brewing, a great play list ready for playing and an over abundance of art supplies ready for painting.
