Millie Moth

Artist

Millie Moth

My name is Karen Johnson and I'm the Derby based artist behind Millie Moth. Inspired by my wild garden, my work falls into two styles - one uses alcohol inks to paint vibrant flowers, and the other is created digitally using elements of my paintings, drawings and isolated photographic images.

My work is full of colour and I aim to convey the happiness I feel when I’m around flowers and foliage. There is such a wealth of life in every small growing space and I try to capture that beauty and vigour by injecting a little wildness and joy into every piece.
