Birth Flowers

A new series of watercolors that represent all twelve birth flowers.

I’ve been interested in the language of flowers for a few years now and decided to create these unique representations of all birth flowers. In the 19th century in England, gifts of blooms, plants and very specific floral arrangements were created to send coded messages to the recipient, allowing the sender to express feelings that could not be said aloud. I thought I could create something similar, using the essence and the emotions of each birth flower.
