HANGING GARDENS

As long as I can remember I have loved visiting gardens, and as a textile designer it was one of our predominant themes ; we painted flowers in every style. I still document flowers around the house and gardens and on my travels, I use my drawings and photos as starting points to create scenarios inspired by fashion, history, mythology…
