Botanical illustrations
february 2025
It’s February and the days are slowly growing longer. We have had some cold days but overall it has been a gentle winter so far. At the beginning of this year I have been diving into the slow process of making a small series of botanical patches.
I started dyeing with onion skins, pomegranate and chestnut, each offering muted oranges, soft ochres and earthy browns. These colours feel like nature and reflect the landscape I see around me these winter months. But is is not all about the colour. Through painting plants and flowers, I try to capture my mind’s eye of nature, the way I perceive it in it’s beauty.
Hopefully this new collection inspires you. I can’t wait to see how these pieces find their new homes!
