One day while scrolling along through Instagram I was stopped short by the pretty and very British drawings created by Hannah Longmuir.  On further investigation I found she is in the Scottish Borders and I knew I had to share her work with you!

We have a small selection of her work including her 2020 Wildlife Calendar, tiny notelets and some blank cards.  All are designed and printed in Scotland.

From Hannah Longmuir:

I am a countryside artist based in the Scottish Borders.  Working mainly in pencil, I record the details of the fields and woodlands and hedgerows around me.  I aim to create calm, delicate drawings, carefully observed and full of character.  I then use these drawings to create my range of charming, nature-inspired cards and stationery.

My work captures a moment in time and conveys the sense of stillness and peace that I feel when I am in the countryside.  I have a very energetic dog who needs a lot of exercise so we head out and explore on a daily basis, in all weathers.  I take my camera and my sketchbook and I try to look carefully at the world.  I would love to think that my work inspires others to reconnect with the countryside around them, and perhaps even to have a go at drawing it themselves.  You can see some of my sketchbook work on my blog.
