Please bring a heavy book of choice to press your own flowers to take it home with you. Tea and light bites will be served. 

About the artist:
Ms Mottin has an ongoing exhibition, Biophilia: The Forest Within at Art and Soul Gallery where she transformed the space into an indoor forest. “ My new works are an ongoing study of life’s cycles through the lens of both nature and art. Pressed flowers, imbued with a sense of nostalgia, represents the impermanence and beauty found in the natural world. The watercolors behind them act as a symbolic backdrop, evoking the creative force that sustains all living things. These elements come together to weave a narrative about the enduring power of life. This always changing exploration has now evolved to different mediums such as tapestry, moss and other elements that I am using to raise the questions about the human connection with nature.”
