Artist Statement

My name is Karen Johnson and I’m an artist based in Derby, working under the business name of Millie Moth. I paint/draw flowers using alcohol ink pens with splashes of neat alcohol onto Yupo paper. My work is full of colour and I aim to convey the happiness I feel when I’m around flowers and foliage. There is such a wealth of life in every small growing space and I try to capture that beauty and vigour by injecting a little wildness and joy into every piece.
