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.....................

World Nature Conservation Day Artwork

I strongly believe that nature is not a commodity and should not be treated as a capitalistic value. Nature has inherent value, it sustains all life on this planet! Human survival is inextricably linked with the earth's natural resources and ecosystem.

We need to align and work together in harmony and respect with nature so that all living beings can collectively benefit and protect this amazing planet.

Bee Lovers Watercolour Artwork Prints

I have always had a fondness for bees, particularly Bumblebees with their super cute fuzzy bodies. I would love more people to appreciate these little workers for the incredibly important job they do as vital pollinators to our crops and flowers, as their numbers are in decline! I have been planting more wildlife/bee friendly flowers in the garden.

You can buy my Save The Bees artwork on women's t-shirts, they are 100% organic ring-spun combed cotton, making it an eco-friendly choice!

I have also created prints, they are now for sale in different sizes in my Etsy shop. I hope they will make there way into the homes of fellow bee lovers! ☺️
