A brief guide on how to create your own floral art
- Text by Huck
Floral artist and stylist Harriet Parry makes work from the heart.
In a special edition of Skill Up – created in partnership with Squarespace – the Londoner gives us an intimate look at her process: in which she creates a floral portrait in homage to her inspirational grandmother.
Utilising subtle juxtapositions of line and colour, Harriet builds stunningly emotive interpretations of the people – and things – she loves. The video offers a fascinating insight into how creative folks draw on their craft in testing times, as well as how they can cut through the cacophony to get their message out there.
Check out the episode above.
