Botanical Names
I create beautiful botanical keepsakes to mark special occasions. Perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, christenings, bridal party gifts, milestones or to simply frame for a bedroom wall.
My pieces are created on acid free 200gsm extra smooth Bristol Paper and hand styled using waterproof and fade proof pigment ink pens. Each piece comes unframed in a secure tube. If you are a Brisbane local, pick-up or delivery of the piece can be easily oragnised. Otherwise I will send via registered mail.
NOTE: For privacy reasons, I do not show birth dates when showcasing my commissioned works.
What happens after I submit my enquiry?
Once I recieve your full brief regarding your commision enquiry along with your style preference, I will send through a quote. Once you have signed off and I have received your deposit payment, I then start on a pencil draft of your piece and we go from there. The usual turn around time is 2-3 weeks depending of the complexity and the size of the piece that you have requested.
PAYMENT
I’ll send you an invoice with an upfront deposit of 50% of your quoted price prior to any work starting. You’ll receive the final invoice once my work is completed and you have signed off. I accept electronic bank transfers. Paypal may also be requested.
Custom Calligraphy

Had a wonderful time learning & being inspired by Helen whilst sipping champagne & meeting new friends. The course was fantastic with plenty of resources & feedback from Helen. Loved it & I can’t wait to keep going with all I’ve learned. Thank you.
I attended Helen’s Christmas themed workshop. As a beginner, I was impressed at her attentiveness to everyone in the group. She consistently made her was around the table, ensuring each person had one-on-one time, providing assistance, individual recommendations and encouraging us to develop our own style. Her resources were fabulous and we had plenty to take home to continue practising. I am looking forward to attending another as soon as possible to hone my skills even more. Thank you Helen, for your time, encouragement and pleasant manner!
What a great class and relaxing afternoon! Thanks for being so patient with our thousand questions. I really enjoyed learning a new skill and technique under your expert guidance. It’s really inspired me to keep practicing. Highly recommended!
