Artists have been fascinated with flowers since the beginning of decorative arts. Whilst elegant and bursting with colour, they also carry symbolic meanings of birth, death and the passing of time, and our collection of floral imagery summons joy in nature as well as unpacking many such themes.

Angie Lewin’s lithos, linocuts, wood engravings and screenprints, Vicky Oldfield’s collagraphs, Mary Cossey’s etchings and the gloriously coloured prints of Peter Wareham all explore these visual ideas, animating the minutiae of plant life through their unique styles.
