Chelsea Flower Show is one of those places where you realise that gardening is an art form — as much as painting or sculpture. Every garden designed with mood, history, emotion in mind. Details that take your breath away. 🌿
You come for botanical inspiration. You stay to witness what people can do with an inexhaustible amount of passion.
Crowds — much like flowers — everywhere. But worth it. 🌸
Currently studying botanical illustration with the Society of Botanical Artists — and places like this remind me exactly why.

Turns out you don’t need a full palette to paint autumn. Just sepia, water, and a very cooperative ornamental gourd.
Monochrome studies are my favourite exercise in restraint — letting value do all the work colour usually steals the credit for. This ornamental gourd in sepia taught me a thing or two about patience. As usual.

Dozens of notebooks tested. Still no number one. Pens, on the other hand — easy. I love them all equally, no matter the price tag. Right now I’m deep in a scented ink phase: yesterday cocoa, today violets. Would I fill my nicer pens with them? Absolutely not. But that violet ink? Writing with it feels like a small, unnecessary luxury — and I mean that as the highest compliment.

A study of the root of bleeding heart (Dicentra spectabilis) — observing texture, form, and the quiet complexity hidden beneath the soil.
This botanical illustration focuses on the natural structure of the plant through watercolor and graphite, combining close observation with botanical drawing and process-based study.
