inspiration
The current focus of my “floating florals” illustration work revolves around exploring botanical shapes and colors. The subject matter of florals is inspired by the folk garments worn by Polish Highlander women (goralki) from the Podhale region of the Tatra Mountains. The bright floral imagery, intricate beading, contrasting patterns, and regional floral subject matter found in these folk garments serve as a tribute to the rich cultural heritage and clans. read more
process
My ‘floating floral’ illustration style is created by first photographing individual florals, choosing select images and digitally arranging them before illustrating them, in most cases digitally. Elements of the final image are either printed on canvas, painted on canvas, painted as a mural or transferring on any surface your heart desires. read more
