A watercolor artist and illustrator who lives on a farm in South Africa, Libby Bell has vowed to paint only the most beautiful and worthy things she can think of – which are mostly flowers, although she loves leaves the most.

“I’m a perfectionist and a creative, but I love admin and business too. I draw my inspiration from almost everything beautiful I see around me – but classic botanical paintings, exquisite home interiors, glorious old gardens, decorated antique vases, the miniscule detail of orchids, and the hundreds of perfect feathers that make up a bird are sources of consistent, unwavering awe and artistic motivation.”
