Hi, I'm Caron!
I'm so glad you're here!
I live in Johannesburg, South Africa, and I'm happily married and have the privilege of being a mum to two awesome young adults! I’m a qualified teacher and artist.
I started Flourish during lockdown in March 2020. Each day I would paint a small watercolour painting with an inspirational quote, to try and encourage friends, family and colleagues during what was a really stressful and uncertain time.
The response I received from all over the world was incredible! I kept being asked if I would make something with all the paintings I had done, and so I came up with an idea of producing my “Tropical Vibes” Inspirational Quote Card sets….my very first product! The rest as they say is history! My little business has grown from strength to strength and I am enjoying the opportunities to turn my artwork into all sorts of amazing products. I love the joy that my art brings to my clients and never get tired of people’s reactions to my work.
I’m excited to see where this journey of mine will continue to take me, and hope that you will join me on the ride!
PAINTING WORKSHOPS & EVENTS
Step into a slower pace of life with my watercolour workshops — designed to help you unwind, reconnect, and discover the joy of painting. Studies show that painting can lower cortisol levels by up to 75%, making it the perfect antidote to the busyness and stress of everyday life.
Set in beautiful surroundings, these workshops are open to everyone — no matter your experience or creative ability. Focusing on botanical subjects, you’ll be gently guided through watercolour techniques in a relaxed, supportive, and non-pressurised environment. It’s about enjoying the process as much as the painting itself.
Whether you’re carving out a few hours just for yourself or gifting a unique experience to someone special, my workshops offer the perfect opportunity to slow down, learn something new, and have fun along the way.
I also run bespoke events — from birthdays and hen parties to team-building and corporate gatherings. These tailored experiences make for creative, memorable occasions where everyone can relax and connect while painting.
Keep an eye on my social media and subscribe to my newsletter for updates on upcoming dates and venues — I’d love to see you at the next one.
ART MATERIALS
Many of my students ask me, “Which art materials do you recommend?” With so many brands available, it can be difficult to know where to start.
In my own studio and workshops, I choose to work with Faber-Castell materials because they are reliable, beautiful to use, and accessible for both beginners and experienced artists. I’m also delighted to be a Faber-Castell Brand Ambassador, representing a brand trusted by artists for generations.
The materials you’ll find here are the same ones I use in my own artwork and classes — carefully chosen to help make the creative process calm, enjoyable, and rewarding.
BRAND COLLABS & LICENSING
My artwork extends beyond the canvas through creative partnerships with some amazing businesses and brands.
I love collaborating on beautiful branding, packaging, and product ranges — offering both bespoke commissions and licensing agreements for existing designs.
By combining artistry with brand storytelling, I help businesses create unique, memorable, and visually striking products that connect with their audience on a deeper level.
If you’re a brand or business looking for authentic, nature-inspired artwork to elevate your identity, and create something truly unique, I’d love to explore the possibilities together. Please get in touch with me!
BESPOKE GIFTING & COMMISSIONS
Looking for something truly special? I create bespoke watercolour artworks designed for life’s most meaningful moments — from elegant wedding gifts and bridal keepsakes to thoughtful corporate gifting and personal commissions. Each piece is tailored to your story, crafted with care, and made to be treasured for years to come.
Whether you’d like to mark a milestone, create a one-of-a-kind gift, or bring a personal idea to life, I’ll work with you to design something that’s as unique as the occasion it celebrates.
