Floral Art: Helen Amy Murray

Birds and Flowers wall art in silk crepe satin

Inspired by nature! I'm back from a great, revitalizing family trip to Yosemite. The outdoors has definitely gotten my creative juices flowing. I've got a lot of projects lined up and a few new DIY ideas to post. For the meantime, I want to highlight another one of my favorite artists - Helen Amy Murray.

London-based artist Helen Amy Murray's art is nothing but breathtaking. Her bespoke, stylized surface reliefs inspired by nature lend a modern and elegant touch to furniture, wall coverings, and wall art. The craftsmanship and details are simply stunning. Flowers are one of her favorite motifs, which makes me love her even more! She gracefully blends soft and feminine with bold and luxurious. I am drooling over her peony appliques!

  5. Interesting... how does one make those kinds of designs on the chairs? Is it carved into the leather or are these all little leather pieces fused together?
