In The Natives Garden

Amy Wright's Roraima series invites viewers into a lush, immersive world where wild nature and memory entwine. Inspired by the otherworldly Roraima Gardens—a sprawling, decades-old dreamscape filled with succulents, cacti, and native orchids—these paintings render a place at once primeval and deeply personal. Wright's brush captures a landscape in flux: part botanical archive, part atmospheric reverie. Through layered compositions and rich, tactile color, the works explore the surreal beauty of a garden being reclaimed by nature. Towering, alien-like flora dominate the canvases, evoking a sense of both awe and quiet intimacy. In Roraima, chaos and serenity coexist—the overgrowth becomes symphonic, each plant a note in nature's slow, consuming harmony. More than a record of place, this collection is a tribute to the wild, a meditation on decay, transformation, and the uncanny feeling of returning to a home you've never known.
