Johanna Basford creates intricate drawings of imagined botanicals intertwined with a flutter of butterflies giving a traditional ‘Damask’ a contemporary edge.

She graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee in 2005 and DKNY installed her ‘Crazy Botanic’ wallpaper in their Bond Street store in the DKNY &Wallpaper* New Designers showcase during London Fashion Week in the same year.

Profile
Inspired by upbringing on a small fish farm in rural Aberdeenshire, Scotland, much of the work has roots in the flora and fauna that she’s grew up with. Her wandering imagination and passion for drawing took her to Art School in Dundee, where she graduated with a first class honours degree in Printed Textiles in 2005.
