“The flowers glow and twinkle in the evenings light.”
Flora Roberts is a Scottish born artist and designer
Her work is informed by a sensitive observation of nature, following plants and flowers as they come into season. Attention is given to achieving the right colour and texture. She is as much inspired by her Dorset garden as by Dutch still life paintings. Flowers have to be captured before they fade. Spontaneity is part of the process.
Flora’s paintings have been made into murals, wallpaper and interior textiles, as well as designs for perfume and fashion houses. She is committed to her artistic practice of painting from life.
“Colour, essence and light are wonderfully captured in Flora’s work as she is fascinated by atmosphere and inspired by historic textiles and paintings. Her botanical wallpapers bring the garden indoors and make one feel they are among the flowers.”
