My name is Peta Fletcher aka Crafted Pear.
Art and Food: A Creative Journey
My work explores the connection between nourishment—both visual and physical—and creativity. Inspired by the fresh produce from my garden, I capture the vibrant colours, organic forms, and rich textures of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and native plants. Using digital art in Procreate, as well as traditional painting, drawing, and sculpting, I celebrate the beauty of nature’s offerings, transforming them into lasting works of art. My watercolor and ink-style digital illustrations of recipes reflect my love for cooking, blending artistic expression with the simple joy of fresh, homegrown ingredients. In my art, I seek to highlight the harmony between nature’s aesthetics and the sustenance it provides, inviting viewers to appreciate both the visual and tangible nourishment of the natural world.
