About
Zoe Attwood - British Artist & Fashion Floral Painter
Zoe Attwood celebrates the beauty of flowers through the seasons, capturing their delicate forms, subtle colours, and the way light dances across petals. Trained at Central Saint Martins and Kingston University, this British fashion floral artist brings both formal artistic education and deep knowledge to her distinctive practice of fashion floral paintings.
Living in nature beside the dreamlike light river that flows through Suffolk, Zoe's riverside home is truly integrated with the wild world , swans glide past, the flash of a kingfisher catches her eye, an occasional otter appears, while cygnets and ducklings bring daily joy. This authentic life beside the dreamy river means witnessing both beauty and nature's honest cycles, flowers blooming through seasons, swans courageously starting again with new eggs after losing all their cygnets, showing nature's incredible resilience. The dreamlike quality of the flowing river adds to her dreamy imagery, inspiring the ethereal nature of her work and informing her artistic vision.
She visits Columbia flower market, the V&A, and archives at London College of Fashion, filling beloved sketchbooks with drawings that inspire her fashion floral studio compositions.
Her distinctive body of work uniquely intertwines flowers, fashion, and nature creating enchanting fashion girls adorned with florals, vintage-inspired fashion portraits blooming with seasonal flowers, and elegant floral still lifes in treasured antique pottery.
Working in gouache, acrylic, oil, and monoprint, Zoe Attwood translates her garden and location studies into original fashion floral paintings, vintage fashion portraits with flowers, limited edition giclée prints, and eco-friendly greeting cards crafted on museum-quality textured paper.
With every card sold, British fashion floral artist Zoe Attwood donates 5% of sales to the Butterfly Conservation Charity, a cause especially close to her heart as even her daughters are named after butterflies, making each card a tribute to both nature and family.
Zoe's work has been exhibited at prestigious galleries including Gainsborough House, Jessica Muir Gallery in Long Melford, and Connigsby Gallery London, with her paintings also featured in venues from Bath to Chelsea and throughout Suffolk.
