Fleur Pressée
London
Hi, I’m Daisy a flower preservation artist based in Northeast London. I launched Fleur Pressée in lockdown turning my gardening passion of growing cut flowers into pressed flower artworks. Many of the flowers I press are from my own garden and carefully selected from the surrounding countryside and sustainable sources.
Fleur Pressée celebrates every petal, stem and detail of the flower. Each botanical element is preserved, making the artwork a true one of a kind piece.
I have always had a passion for flowers and gardening from a young age, having the name Daisy does help too. My terrace garden in Northeast London was a blank canvas for me when we moved into our house and over the last five years it has organically changed and grown not only into a small escape from city life for me and my family but has also kick started what started off as a hobby in lockdown to a new small business venture.
After having my son in 2022, I returned to my career in fashion design after my maternity leave but was made redundant quite quickly after. After time to reflect, this gave me the opportunity to really develop my style of artwork and create pieces that really stand out. I hand paint all my frames and stripe mounts to sit with the floral arrangements, showcasing the flowers and botanicals at their absolute best.
