Artwork Description:

Title: Summer Garden

Part of the Wild Garden Collection, the Summer Garden design features some of my favourite flowers – rich blue salvias, geums, knautia, ox-eye daisies, forget-me-nots, buttercups & grasses. This was a commission for my lovely mum-in-law who adores her garden and has the greenest thumbs I know

Originally painted onto A3 Yupo paper using alcohol based ink pens with splashes of isopropyl alcohol. 

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.
