Flora Waycott is an artist and Illustrator from the South of England, currently living in Australia.
She began making pictures during her childhood in Japan, where she acquired her first set of paints at the age of 7 and enrolled in after-school art classes.
Inspiration is close to hand - drawn from familiar elements of life at work and at home, as well as the plants and creatures in the wild world beyond. With thoughtful details and careful composition, each piece of art is hand-painted to express the magic of growth and togetherness in human experience.
Among her books is the popular "Draw Every Little Thing", an instructional step-by-step drawing and painting book.
