Hand-drawn Art Inspired by
the Quiet Magic of Nature & Folklore

Hello, I’m Lotti - an artist and nature journaler creating colourful, detailed drawings of British wildlife and folklore to help you feel the calm joy of reconnecting with nature...

I create nature art for those who pause to notice - nature lovers, dreamers, and quiet souls who find beauty in the small and the wild.

I’ve loved to draw since childhood, when family walks through the Welsh countryside filled my imagination with the magic of King Arthur and the stories hidden in our landscapes.

After illness changed my life's path, I rediscovered myself through creativity and through nature - sketching flowers and birds spotted on slow walks in the Yorkshire fields near my home.

Each artwork begins with a walk through the Yorkshire countryside - a flicker of wings, a rustle in the hedgerow, a story whispered by the landscape itself.

I draw by hand, inspired by the wildlife, folklore, and seasonal rhythms that remind us how deeply we belong to nature.

This section was born out of a project I decided to start in 2020, just after lockdown started here in the UK.

It was an idea I'd been thinking about for a long time, to follow a year connecting to the trees of the Celtic Tree Calendar through art and folklore - and this is the result.

You can join me as I explore the folklore, myths and meanings of each tree in the Celtic Tree Calendar year and create a piece of art for each...
