Helen Ahpornsiri is a British artist and illustrator who creates delicate and intricate illustrations using pressed fern leaves and other botanical materials. She forages for ferns and flowers from her own garden and local nature spots and then presses them for several weeks until they are flat and ready to use.
She then cuts and arranges them on paper to form various animals and scenes, such as butterflies, dragonflies, birds, seahorses, and whales. Her work celebrates the beauty and diversity of the natural world, as well as the potential of using plants as a medium for art.
