Garden

* FLOWERS ARE MEDICINE FOR THE SOUL *

"If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change." - Buddha

Here’s a little story about how I fell in love with gardening — especially flowers.

I lived in London for seven years, enjoying its vibrant and fast-paced lifestyle. In 2011, a personal journey led me to Peru in search of shamanic healing, where I met my partner in the Sacred Valley. Three years later, I left London and moved into his farmhouse in the Austrian countryside.

The transition was dramatic. While I had thrived in the energy of the city, rural life forced me to slow down. Not speaking German or the local Carinthian dialect made me more introverted, and the culture shock was overwhelming. By the end of 2014, I began experiencing arthritis and inflammation in both wrists. Seeking comfort and healing, I turned to gardening—especially flowers—and began exploring the world of self-healing.

Working with nature not only supported my physical and emotional recovery, but it also unlocked a new level of creativity. The flowers inspired vivid faerie visions that I felt compelled to draw. These illustrations became the foundation of my first public art project: the *Enamored Coloring Book Series*.

Since then, I have created fourteen colouring books and a poetry & art book. Today, my main focus is creating soulful paintings that continue to be inspired by the natural world.

My garden is my sanctuary. I’m deeply grateful to the flowers and to nature—they remain my most faithful and inspiring muses.

Below is a list of flowers from my garden, arranged alphabetically by their common names.
