During the pandemic as life slowed down, many of us explored the outdoors more and noticed more of what we maybe took for granted or didn’t notice before. Fly Me a Rainbow celebrates the beauty of the natural world around us and gratitude that nature provides a brief escape from any anxiety felt during the pandemic. It includes the artist’s favourite garden birds and the rainbow we all painted on our windows to honour key workers.
