This was Laura’s first piece ever submitted to an art exhibition, and was exhibited at The Southern Nature Art Exhibition in August 2024. The painting features animals and plants which are typically disliked and underappreciated, and are all native to the UK.

Each Giclee print is produced using archival quality, Fine Art Trade Guild approved printers, inks and paper. The paper is Eco-friendly Hahnemühle Bamboo 290gsm, made from 90% bamboo and 10% cotton. Bamboo is sustainable, acid-free, lignin-free and free from OBAs.

Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on the planet and can grow to its full height and size within 3-4 months. In the right conditions, a bamboo plant can grow over a meter in a single day. Bamboo can be grown with little water and no fertilizers or pesticides, making it sustainable, natural and resource-saving. When harvested, bamboo does not require replanting, it will grow new shoots as a result of its extensive root system, which in turn protects soil from erosion; with this, bamboo can help prevent landslides. Bamboo sequesters carbon dioxide from the environment – twice as much as many other trees and plants – it also produces 35% more oxygen than trees of equivalent size.

Each print comes in an environmentally friendly, compostable cello sleeve with a recycled backing board to keep it from bending or folding.
