Artwork Description:

Title: Snowdrops

Snowdrops are such iconic flowers – their shy little heads bring such joy and hope that spring is on its way! I love the delicate arching of the stem, the simple hanging bell – pure snowy white with the tiniest hint of fresh green – and the vibrant thrusting leaves. The sky in this picture to me suggests snow is coming, but this resilient little flower doesn’t mind, and is happy to show itself whatever the weather.

I created this picture in July 2018 using alcohol ink pens with splashes of neat alcohol on A4 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.
