Floral artwork inspired by the beauty of flowers.
Botanical Illustrations
Original floral studies and limited edition prints.
These botanical illustrations are my way of putting flowers into the spotlight. Most of my studies are drawn in isolation, so that there is no distraction and they can get the full glory that they deserve. These studies are all created using light fast watercolour pencils and can be purchased as either originals or limited edition prints. My high quality Giclee prints are all printed onto heavyweight museum grade digital fine art paper, using light fast inks. They are reproduced at a similar scale to my originals and each is signed with the edition number. These prints are all available to purchase on Etsy.
If you are interested in an original or a commission please contact me directly.
Cards
Cards for all occasions.
My botanical cards are all printed from scans of my original watercolour pencil drawings. These high quality cards are all available to buy on Etsy. The cards measure A6 size and the square cards measure 5" by 5". Each illustration is printed on FSC heavyweight card with a recycled natural brown envelope, and enclosed in a fully compostagle cellophane sleeve. These cards are blank inside, and feature the flowers name and a thumbnail image on the reverse of the card.
To save on postage costs I can print or hand write your personalised message inside the card and send direct.
Wedding Illustration Commissions
Unique floral illustrations.
I love working on commissions for unique wedding or anniversary gifts. I can draw the full bouquet, a collection of flowers from the bride's bouquet or an individual floral study featuring the main flower. This can be in either graphite or watercolour pencil depending on the look you require. Each drawing is signed and dated (i can date the artwork with the wedding or anniversary date). Please contact me for further information.
Textile Artwork
Original textile pieces incorporating hand pressed flowers.
With my background in textiles, I still love working with fabric and enjoy using the sewing machine as a means of drawing. My original textile pieces are created using layers of fabric, hand pressed flowers and machine embroidery. These delicate and detailed artworks make a wonderful keepsake. Each piece is completely unique, as they incorporate hand pressed flowers and leaves. Please contact me for further information or to enquire about a commission, perhaps using your wedding flowers.
Graphite Drawings
Black and white original artwork and limited edition prints.
These large graphite floral studies are magnified sections of flowers. My intention is to make the viewer look at a specific flower in a more intimate way. By removing the distraction of colour, I aim to show the detail, patterns and form of the flowers that I find so fascinating. I have always enjoyed the medium of graphite and still love working in this way. These are available as mounted and framed originals or Giclee Limited Edition prints (1/100) printed to order. Each illustration is approximately 15" square. Please contact me for further information or visit Etsy to order a print.
Bespoke Cards and Prints
Cards for any occasion available via Etsy
These cards are designed and printed by me at home using scans from my original artwork. Let me know what message you would like on your card, I will then design and print your design from home onto 250g card.
To save on postage costs I can also print or hand write a personalised message inside the card and send direct.
