DENISE MARTIN

Botanical Calligraphy  

 

Denise has lived in the Macedon Ranges for the past thirty years.
Since retiring from a career in the racing industry, she has extended a lifelong interest in all of the different art streams, in particular botanical art.
Calligraphy also provides a means of expressing and interpreting another of Denise's passions - writing poetry.  As nature is so diverse,  she feels that the inspiration for either depicting the plant world as a botanical art subject, or writing poetry to celebrate the bounty of nature, is quite boundless.
In some of her work, - the three meld quite sympathetically – botanical art, poetry and calligraphy combine to celebrate the infinite beauty of nature . The Macedon Ranges is the perfect place to watch the changing seasons and be inspired to create.
The latter part of the  Pre-Raphaelite  movement , and the Arts and Crafts Movement is very much admired by Denise.
