Amanda Ross makes botanical art with a twist. Her intensely detailed and gently vibrant pieces are printed from the actual plants. A hopeless gardener, she has amassed a vast collection of preserved plants which act as raw materials as well as mementos and relics of places. With these, she conveys the essence or spirit of places and gardens, using the very things that made them. Her pieces capture a moment or season within the ever-changing natural environment – places and gardens that grow, change, die and reappear. A bespoke service allows you to 'Print Your Garden’.
