Spring Awakening: Enter the Glorious World of Jackie Morris

It’s this time of year when we start seeing the first bluebells appearing and look forward to witnessing swallows crossing our skies. This is the perfect time to explore Jackie Morris's captivating talent. An author, illustrator, and artist, she brings the nature and wildness of Britain to life with stunning watercolours and eye-catching gold leaf.

Golden Whispers of Nature

Within Jackie Morris’ work, you'll find yourself transported to a world where foxes dream, hares dance, and birds soar against shimmering golden skies. Her distinctive style, characterised by exquisite watercolours set against luminous gilt backgrounds, captures the magic of the natural world, bringing together the heart and the imagination.

Collaborating with author Robert MacFarlane, she has produced two beautiful books which have received astonishing reviews. "The Lost Words" and its sequel "The Lost Spells" celebrate the words and creatures that are slowly disappearing from our everyday lives.

Within the pages of these enchanting works, you'll discover a world where the ordinary becomes extraordinary. The author and artist transform common flowers and animals, with each illustration a testament to Jackie Morris' ability to infuse everyday nature with a sense of wonder and reverence. Bringing to life the words of nature which were becoming lost, these books feel truly magical. 

As spring unfolds around us, the art of Jackie Morris brings us a gentle reminder to look closer at the world waking around us. Whether foxes curled in your garden, swallows nesting under your eaves, or the bluebell carpets in your nearest woods –  these all find their place in her golden-hued universe.

Spring is a season of newness blooming all around us, and it feels like the right time to celebrate the beauty of Jackie Morris' work. We hope you’ll be inspired to see the extraordinary in the ordinary, to find magic in the mundane, and - perhaps - to reconnect with the natural world around us.
