But it wasn’t always the case. In my early twenties, after a long and busy day at work I joined an evening watercolour class nestled at the back of a florist’s shop. With limited expectations, other than a bit of escapism, I was surprised by the fulfiment and restoration I received from slowing down to observe and record a floral specimen. And, an experience that re-introduced me to the wonder of botanicals, once more. Botanical art, for me, is green therapy with a paintbrush. Laura is a botanical artist and illustrator based between London and Suffolk, offering home-grown specimens and seasonal sources of inspiration. She is in her final year of study and practice with the Society of Botanical Artists (DipSBA), working under Margaret Stevens (PPSBA) among other influential tutors. Before this, she had been a resident at the FSC Flatford Mill (Suffolk) Botanical Illustration course for several years. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6155d4f11618136b99e9dab7/t/615628cf86b8fe1a2471364c/1633036837496/IMG_7615.JPG About - Laura with her granny Suffolk, 1994 https://www.petalandponder.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-10-05 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6155d4f11618136b99e9dab7/t/615ca93df278ec53e04847eb/1633462601173/IMG_3919.jpg Contact - Get in touch.
