June - Hand painted Watercolour botanical illustrations

I love the month of June in the UK. There is so much to enjoy and appreciate in nature at this time of the year. 😍

This chapter opener is illustrated by me and it's from "Homecoming", the nature journal beautifully written by Melissa Harrison, Published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson.

(Due out in November 2024).

If like me, you love nature, this journal is absolutely amazing! You can follow along, watching and observing all the changes in the seasons unfolding around you month by month. I have learnt so much from working on this book with Melissa.

I will continue to share with you some more sneaks from inside Homecoming over the next few months. Stay tuned!

Hand Painted Watercolour Book Illustrations

I have some really exciting news, which I have been bursting to share! 

In November 2024, the fully illustrated nature journal I have been working on is published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson.

"Homecoming" by Melissa Harrison is a guided journal to lead you back to nature. You can begin in any month and carry on round to the start. It will encourage you to spot species, learn to recognise birdsong, mark the changing seasons and join in with citizen science projects.

The front cover features a wrap around design using my illustrations to show the changing of the seasons in leaves, buds and flowers.

I can honestly say, working with @m_z_harrison and @hannahbeatricecreative has been an absolute joy, this little book is stunning, I can’t wait to get my hands on it and share it with everyone.

I will also be sharing some behind the scenes posts and sneak peeks in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. 

 A lot more to come.....................
