April No.1

This print captures a fleeting moment in April, when blossom trees are in full bloom and spring bulbs — tulips, daffodils, and snowflakes—carpet the garden floor. Inspired by these magnificent magnolia flowers, I carefully cut two branches, and paired them with pale pink ranunculus I had growing in a glasshouse.  The single stem of lime green bells is Fritillaria persica ‘Alba', a remarkable but tricky plant to grow here in Derbyshire, making it all the more special. The newly opened leaves of my favourite bronze beech tree, still translucent with spring freshness were collected too.  This piece feels like a botanical time capsule, preserving that special moment in spring when everything feels vibrantly alive and renewed.
