IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE A LATE BLOOMER AS LONG AS YOU DON'T MISS THE FLOWER SHOW!

Cindy says If there were no more flowers in the world it would be like the seaside without the sea.
I ADORE FLOWERS the smell, colour, different shapes, sizes, detail. Nature is WONDERFUL........
Cindy's long-awaited exhibition of her series of Celebrity Flowers took place earlier this year (2006) in London. These unique flower portraits were each nominated and signed by an A-list celebrity and decorated with Swarovski crystals. Cindy says: "I am really thrilled that Celebrity Flowers enjoyed such success, but what thrills me the most is knowing the sale of the pictures raised both money and awareness for a fantastic cause. On behalf of the Elton John AIDS Foundation, I would like to thank all those celebrities who made time to share their love of flowers and sign "their" canvases".

Not only have each of the celebrities nominated a flower - from a simple primrose for Emma Thompson to blood red roses for Victoria and David Beckham but each is embellished with Swarovski crystals and signed by the relevant celebrity.

The show was a fantastic success. The Flower paintings sold for an average of £5000 plus each, with all money raised benefiting the Elton John AIDS Foundation. I would like to thank all those who so generously supported me and my work.
