It is impossible to escape the mesmeric qualities of Sylvia Marsters flower paintings. Brilliant colour and realism demand your attention, the composition of the artist's flower works designed to draw you into a powerful space filled with a wealth of sensation.

Marsters' renowned Hibiscus paintings have re-emerged of late. They are permeated by a fierce resolve to strengthen an understanding of her Cook Islands cultural heritage. For much of her youth, the artist was thrilled with tales of her father's island in the Pacific, stories that ultimately became represented by the flora & people that she paints.
