Sara is a British artist and textile designer, now based in Brooklyn, New York.
Originally from the hilly Peak District near Sheffield, his work is deeply inspired by
nature.
On rainy days, she can usually be found painting in the greenhouses of the botanical gardens, where
she fills her sketchbooks with her naturalistic designs.
She shares with Cécile her passion for the motif, for the observation of nature, and for her first attempt in large format, she let herself be guided by the medieval inspiration of this four-handed exercise.
Delicate and precious, the Millefleurs pattern was hand painted with watercolors and gouache by Sarain collaboration with Cécile Figuette, creator of Bien Fait.
The magical and mysterious world of medieval tapestries has been one of Cecile's main sources of inspiration.
Millefleurs is reminiscent of the so-called millefleurs decorations of the 15th and 16th century tapestries that adorned castles in Europe. Sprinkled with animals and plant ornaments in suspension, this wallpaper echoes the famous hanging The Lady with a unicorn, preservedin the Cluny Museum.
"I thought that with her talent for botanical subjects and the delicacy of her painted handwriting, she would be
perfect for putting this idea into images."
Cécile Figuette
