FLORAL TOUCH

While reading the May issue, I was thrilled to see a beautiful article about the artist Rachael Dein (left). My husband and I stumbled across her exhibition at Hidcote, the National Trust-owned Arts and Crafts garden in the Cotswolds, when visiting in March. We knew nothing about her, but quickly fell in love with her botanical works, particularly since we are such keen gardeners. It was fascinating to learn how she produced her art and we have since been in touch with Rachael to buy a piece from her spring collection. Thank you, Period Living, for championing new artists and small businesses, and introducing them to your readers.
