Original Texture No. 2 by Melissa Mary Jenkins

Artist Melissa Mary Jenkins creates her own botanical inks from foraged plants and then adds in thread, pastels and marks in ink. Melissas abstract landscapes reflect the colours of the seasons, the lines of the hills surrounding her studio and the trees dotting the horizon.
