Rendered in thick, gestural brushstrokes, the surface is richly textured. Drawing inspiration from the French artist Bernard Cathelin, Bond often builds her floral still lifes through successive layers of oil paint. The resulting composition is loosely detailed yet deeply evocative, imbued with a moody, emotional atmosphere - a single red flower slipping from the bunch, caught mid-fall.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince returning to her painting practice in 2010, Bond has been selected for Artist of the Year three years in a row at the Victorian Artists Society, and her works have been featured in the Art Edit Magazine, Home Beautiful and Grand Design magazines.
