Botanical fine line
Mara Okoye
Hand-drawn florals and herbs that follow the body’s own lines, from a single stem to a sleeve of wildflowers.
Mara grew up between Lagos and Kent, drawing the weeds that grew through her grandmother’s fence. Every botanical piece starts as a pencil study from a real plant she has picked, pressed or photographed.
Her lines are single-needle and deliberately light, so they sit in the skin like a pressed flower in a book: soft, open and made to age gently.
