THE PETAL EPIDEMIC

From 12th to 25th May, the Wynd Gallery will feature The Petal Epidemic, by artist Nade Simmons. This mini exhibition explores the beauty and resilience of flowers—those delicate yet powerful blooms that symbolise both fragility and strength.

The collection includes large-scale works on canvas that celebrate the dramatic presence of petals, capturing their ephemeral nature with bold, expressive energy. Alongside these are original works on paper, offering a more intimate perspective. These pieces have emerged through a practice of foraging, sketching, and close observation—telling a quiet story of growth, decay, and the persistent force of nature.

Visitors will also find a selection of hand-painted original greetings cards and bookmarks, providing an opportunity to take home a small and personal piece from the exhibition.

The collection runs from Monday 12th May - Sunday 25th May and Nade will be present at the Wynd Gallery on Monday 12th May (9:30 AM – 2:00 PM) and Tuesday 13th May (9:30 AM – 2:30 PM), along with her sketches that inspired the collection.

This mini exhibition marks the culmination of a deeply personal and creative journey, and all are invited to come and experience the work first-hand.
