McHugh’s botanical-based paintings – bases on Pacific forms are shaped through extensive research in museums, libraries, and botanical gardens. Rather than focusing solely on the visible, he investigates what lies beneath or beyond the surface—the hidden structures and processes of life. His paintings emerge as layered, collagic compositions of abstracted botanical forms, rendered in vibrant colours and organic configurations that echo the diversity and dynamism of nature
