LARA PILKINGTON
Lara spent her childhood immersed in her mother’s garden deep in the Suffolk countryside, where her passion for flora, fauna, and botanicals was ignited. This affinity to nature is a common thread through her life: it was while pressing flowers with her children that the idea of creating paper flowers cut out of beautiful marbled paper and old watercolour drawings came to her. Now living in Dorset, her maximalist aesthetic is informed by her years as an illustrator, her love for antique fabrics and ceramics, and the wildflowers and foliage surrounding her home.
