Artwork Description:

Title: Angelica Gigas

I love the way gorgeous lacy umbellifer flowers line the hedgerows in late spring and summer and add flouncy froth to a wild garden.

One afternoon I was having afternoon tea in someone’s beautiful garden and spied a stunning giant deep pink Angelica and knew I’d have to recreate it! I painted this Angelica Gigas using alcohol based ink pens & splashes of neat alcohol onto Yupo paper. I hope you like it!

Artist Bio:

My name’s Karen Johnson and I'm the Derby based artist behind Millie Moth. Inspired by my wild garden, my work falls into 2 styles - one uses alcohol inks to paint vibrant flowers, and the other is created digitally using elements of my paintings, drawings and isolated photographic images. My work is full of colour and I aim to convey the happiness I feel when I’m around flowers and foliage. There is such a wealth of life in every small growing space and I try to capture that beauty and vigour by injecting a little wildness and joy into every piece.
