ARTIST OF THE MONTH

Helen Ahponsiri
Helen Ahpornsiri creates intricate collages using real flora and foliage. Each illustration is made up of hundreds of leaves and flowers which are foraged or grown, then preserved with traditional flower pressing methods. The plants are organised by species or colour before being cut and delicately arranged to form birds, insects and other creatures; all filled with tiny patterns and tangles of plant life. Helen lives in Eastbourne, Sussex, in the UK.
Our Dragons will learn the process of pressing flowers and exploring this artist for the month, if you want to donate some flowers to your Child's class please let us know and we can make sure to coordinate a date with the teachers!
