Blooming, Not Bleeding is inspired by the vibrant poppies growing in Claude Monet's garden at Giverny and celebrates nature's remarkable capacity for renewal. Through expressive brushwork, bold crimson blooms and luminous layers of colour, Helen Johnson captures not the flowers themselves but their energy, resilience and joy. The title transforms the rich reds from symbols of loss into an affirmation of hope, reminding us that even after life's challenges, we can continue to flourish, grow and bloom.
