Zarina Hagen is a Norwegian painter, photographer, and printmaker whose vibrant landscape paintings celebrate the emotional power of colour and the restorative beauty of nature. Working across acrylic, oil, watercolour, and printmaking, she transforms fjords, forests, gardens, and changing seasons into luminous compositions inspired by memory, intuition, and feeling. Drawing on her background in health and colour consultancy, Zarina believes colour can uplift, energise, and reconnect us with the natural world. Rather than painting landscapes exactly as they appear, she creates expressive scenes filled with radiant blues, glowing pinks, vivid greens,…

Kristi Radford creates layered photographic art that transforms flowers, leaves, light, and everyday moments into whimsical, dreamlike compositions. Photography has been part of her life since childhood, but through her creative practice at MisBeeHaven Designs she has developed a distinctive process of combining multiple photographs into richly textured digital collages that blur the line between reality and imagination. Working entirely on her phone, Kristi embraces experimentation, curiosity, and play, allowing ordinary natural details to evolve into imaginative visual worlds. Inspired by changing seasons, shifting light, reflections, and the quiet beauty of…

Julia Kulish creates large-scale floral oil paintings inspired by childhood gardens, flowing botanicals, and a lifelong belief in the importance of beauty. Raised by artist parents, her creative journey began painting murals on her children's bedroom walls before evolving into immersive contemporary floral paintings filled with movement, colour, and hope. Influenced by Dutch still-life painting and William Morris, Julia fills her canvases with twisting vines, bold blossoms, and expressive compositions that invite viewers into the joyful abundance of nature. Rather than painting flowers as decoration, she uses them to explore memory,…

Alexa Kleinbard creates vibrant oil paintings that celebrate forests, wetlands, wildlife, native flowers, and the intricate relationships that sustain healthy ecosystems. For more than four decades, she has explored biodiversity through richly layered compositions where birds, insects, trees, mammals, and waterways exist as interconnected communities rather than isolated subjects. Inspired by childhood experiences surrounded by gardens, beehives, and migrating birds, Alexa combines careful research, field observation, and environmental advocacy to create immersive paintings that encourage viewers to see nature as a living network. Working primarily in luminous greens, teals, blues, and…

Agy Lee creates richly textured embroidered landscapes inspired by moss, coral, weathered surfaces, and the quiet resilience of nature. Working with free-motion embroidery, thread, fabric, and even concrete, she pushes traditional textile techniques into contemporary sculptural forms that blur the boundaries between drawing, embroidery, and installation. Originally trained in science, Agy brings experimentation and close observation into every stage of her practice, translating overlooked natural details into tactile artworks built stitch by stitch. Her work explores fragility, renewal, environmental awareness, and the surprising strength found in the smallest living systems. By…

Diana Strandin creates surreal collages that deconstruct the human figure and rebuild it through unexpected combinations of flowers, plants, photographs, and fragmented imagery. With a background in fine art, sculpture, and photography, Diana found collage offered the freedom to bring images from completely different contexts together and create new visual realities. Her work explores the connection between humans and nature while embracing contrasts between strength and fragility, attraction and repulsion, and the familiar and uncanny. Working with magazine cutouts and paper, she rearranges existing imagery into compositions where bodies merge with…

Emma Eyre creates vivid botanical paintings inspired by the accidental compositions of plants she discovers on forest floors and along rural pathways in Sweden. Originally from Honolulu and now living in the Swedish countryside, she has built a creative life around teaching, raising a family, growing food, spending time in nature, and maintaining a consistent painting practice. Her recent On the Ground series begins with photographs of overlooked plants, nettles, reeds, thistles, and leaves before developing through translucent ink washes and layers of opaque oil paint. Rather than recreating nature photographically,…

Erin Bell creates oil paintings inspired by the mountains, forests, lakes, open skies, and changing weather she has experienced while living and travelling across Canada. Her relationship with landscape is deeply personal, shaped by years of moving, searching for belonging, and finding moments of quiet and clarity in nature. After returning to painting more seriously during a difficult period in her life, Erin began using the easel as a place to slow down and reconnect with what she was feeling. Working primarily in oils, she uses brushes and palette knives to…

Evi Antonio creates vivid, large-scale artworks that magnify butterflies, insects, and natural forms, revealing patterns, colours, and structures that often go unnoticed. Trained in natural history illustration, she developed a deep understanding of observation, precision, and the extraordinary complexity found within nature before expanding her practice into digital painting and fine art. Today, Evi combines digitally constructed compositions with traditional hand-finishing techniques, using acrylic glazes, oils, varnish, and other materials to give each work texture, depth, and a unique physical presence. Butterflies remain central to her practice, allowing her to explore…

Holly Hutton creates handcrafted botanical artworks using historic photographic processes such as cyanotype and platinum-palladium printing, transforming flowers and plants into richly textured images that celebrate both nature and the beauty of slow-making. Originally trained in fiber arts, she discovered alternative photography while exploring image-making on fabric, a turning point that continues to shape her multidisciplinary practice decades later. Rather than treating photography as a tool for instant capture, Holly embraces chemistry, paper, fabric, and light as active collaborators, allowing each print to evolve through experimentation and carefully balanced unpredictability. Her…
