About

About the artist:

Hello! I'm Donelle, the artist and creator behind Petal Palette.

Welcome to my little world of texture, colour, and florals!

I am a self-taught artist, and a mum of two, based in Auckland, New Zealand. I’ve always felt a need to be creative, finding joy in immersing myself in the process, and a love for the little details that bring a piece to life. In March 2024 I discovered textured floral art, and it was like everything just clicked into place.

As I began mixing colours, whipping up texture paste, and sculpting petals by hand to create original art pieces, I quickly realised how much joy and calm the entire process brought me.

After many months of experimenting, developing my style, and refining my technique, I took a leap and began sharing my work on Instagram. Since then, I’ve connected with some amazing fellow artists, creatives, small NZ business owners, and many people who admire and appreciate unique, original artwork.

Whether you're drawn to bold and bright, or soft and subtle, I hope you find a special piece here that speaks to you, and sparks a little joy every time you see it.

My work:

From mixing colours on the palette, to placing each delicate petal, every piece of artwork I create is thoughtfully made and one-of-a-kind. My work is inspired by the beauty of nature - florals in full bloom, quiet moments, and the feeling of calm they bring. Through texture and colour, my art aims to be a gentle reminder to slow down, breathe, and find beauty in the everyday. When you purchase a piece of Petal Palette art, you’re investing not only in a one-of-a-kind artwork, but also in the story, care, and heart behind it.

I’m so glad you’ve found your way here, thank you for taking the time to explore my work.

Donelle. xx
