Life: Lived, felt, shared, seen.
A call to nature
to clarify and embody.
A space to connect
and understand.
The journey,
thoughtfully travelled,
leads the heart to flower.
Welcome to Fleurs du Coeur
Each piece begins with a walk, a thought, or a moment worth learning from and holding onto. The lino cuts that follow weave together flowers, birds and botanical detail into images that carry meaning — rooted in the language of flowers, shaped by a love of the natural world.
Paired with Katie’s own poetry, every print offers something to return to. A calm space on your wall. A reminder of what matters.
Symbolic botanicals
Floriography is the language of flowers – a centuries-old tradition of assigning meaning to blooms, plants and botanical forms. A rose for love. Ivy for fidelity. Rosemary for remembrance. Katie’s work draws on this symbolic vocabulary, giving each print a layer of meaning that goes beyond the visual, and makes the work deeply personal.

Home
This place where you belong, Your story joined with those before and those to come Where first steps were taken secrets whispered, new loves formed and friends departed Travel the world, Go far and explore Knowing there is ever a place for you here And listen, with the beat of your heart, when you are called by the bells of home
Smiling Promises
As I sit on the pebbles looking out to sea, I spy a stoney hole winking up at me, Worn by tide and time and gravel, A holey stone, hag stone, fairy stone… And as my mind begins to unravel I dream of the land deep below Where watery magic carves the stone And when this deep world sees your need, carries you smiling promises from the sea.
Southwold Inspired
There is no storm That can dim your light The strength of you, Your beauty, Shines through.

A NOTE FROM KATIE
I make work about the things I find myself returning to — the resilience of nature, the wisdom in stillness, the small details that ground us. I hope something here finds its way to you.
