It’s Antoinette Ferwerda and I’d like to share with you my Floriana art story, which is inspired by foliage.

Rather than flowers and blooms, I wanted to celebrate the leaves, as these do lots of work for the plant.

The story finds beauty in the capillaries and veins, which are normally found on the inside of the leaf. 

I’ve brought these with ink work to the exterior of the leaf to remind us of the network of capillaries and veins that exist and connections within the plant overall.
