About Fleur
I am a contemporary artist inspired by abstract art and pointillism, with a passion for bold, joyful colour combinations. As the artist behind Fleur In Colour, I hand-paint glass vases, transforming humble pieces into beautiful, one-of-a-kind keepsakes.
My work is a celebration of colour, creativity, and the beauty found in everyday objects. I believe that the smallest details often make the biggest impact, and each vase is thoughtfully painted to bring joy, brighten a space, and become something truly special.
Even as a child, creativity followed me everywhere—my schoolbooks were covered in abstract doodles and patterns. This passion for colour led me to study Makeup Artistry, where faces became my canvases and colour my language. Later, I pursued Graphic Design, where I discovered the beauty of composition and form.
After two years living in London, I returned home to Brisbane, Australia where I began a 15 year career in real estate. Yet art was never far away. After viewing more than 2,000 homes, I developed a deep appreciation for design and understood how art transforms a space—how it connects people to a feeling. That experience only strengthened my desire to create.
It wasn’t until becoming a mother in my 40's that I felt an undeniable pull to return to my true calling. Motherhood reshaped my perspective—it taught me to slow down, to create with intention, and to focus on what truly matters.
