Hello!
Living in Cornwall provides Alicia with a constant source of inspiration—from the coastal meadows and woodland paths to the ever-changing hues of the earth itself. The natural colour palette, with its subtle greens, earthy browns, and soft florals, informs the artist’s choices of ink, evoking a sense of harmony with the environment.
Alicia studied a Foundation in Art & Design at Plymouth College of Art, where she attained a distinction. She then went on to study her undergraduate degree at Falmouth University, Marine and Natural History Photography. She proudly graduated with a first class honours in 2020.

After taking a break from photography, Alicia wanted her artistic practice to have a more tactile feel. She then developed her love for collecting, pressing and printmaking with plants as a new way of documenting her findings.
Each monoprint is a labour of love, where the artist uses a single, hand-pulled printmaking technique to capture the fleeting, ephemeral qualities of nature. The process involves carefully applying a thin layer of ink to a printing plate, afterwards arranging botanical specimens onto the printing surface and with the chosen paper, It's rolled through an etching press. Alicia says ''This is step 1 of 3 in the printing process, the purpose of this first step is to apply ink to the plant, sometimes I do keep the print, the outcome is an area of ink transferred around the plant. The second step, is to print the leftover ink on the plate known as the ghost mono print. Finally, the final step is to print directly with the inked plant, my most common seen result.''
This method results in one-of-a-kind prints, where the natural imprints and delicate details of the plants are preserved in a harmonious and organic composition.

Let customers speak for us
Really beautiful, high quality paper and the prints are stunning. Minimalist and scandi.
Really pleased with this calendar, lovely designs included for each month with variations in the techniques used. Additional information given about each plant is a lovely touch. Highly recommend :)
I love the simplicity and the clean execution of the designs. I will be very happy to buy these again.
Gorgeous cards, quick delivery and excellent quality
I love these cards and particularly love the ginko leaf which matches my business logo x
The candle was perfect for all my cards this year. It conveyed the personal message I needed to express without words.
This is the second of Alicia's botanical prints I have bought. It compliments the first one beautifully. The detail in the grass is exquisite. The natural colour is perfect and I love the way the grass stems have been allowed to leave their impression in paper beyond the print area . . an interesting and subtle detail.
Packaging to get this through the post was very well thought out too. The print arrived safe and sound (and in stormy weather too !).
Beautiful unique eco friendly cards thankyou Alicia! The 2025 wall calendar is equally beautiful and makes a wonderful gift x
