1シシリー・メアリー・バーカーの世界観との出会い
Cicely Mary Barker, the author of the "FLOWER FAIRIES" series, was born in 1895 in Croydon, a city in southern London, England. I was born weak, so I didn't go to school and was educated at home. Partly due to the influence of the father of a wood carving artist, he learned the basics of art through distance learning and developed his talent.
We at GreenFlash first encountered Cicely's worldview a long time ago. We launched this brand in the hope of continuing to deliver her delicate and vital art, which exudes an overwhelming presence, in the form of stationery.

One of the strengths and characteristics of Sicely's art is "the rich expressiveness of the fairies depicted.The poses and individual expressions of the fairies are based on actual sketches, and the appeal of the fairies is that they are so human-like despite their fairy existence.It is said that the models were children at a kindergarten run by Sicily's sister. They are squeezed up against the stems of flowers andThey are taking care of fairies smaller than themselves, all of them with very loving gestures and expressions that convey a cute and gentle air.
Another characteristic is that they are "botanically accurate pictures of flowers.In order to faithfully reproduce the beauty of nature, it is said that he painstakingly studied and sketched plants, including observing and drawing flowers at Kew Gardens, the Royal Botanic Gardens in London.As if to symbolize the fact that even a single petal has its own expression, the lively petals of the fairies' costumes are also carefully expressed, allowing the viewer to feel the life force of nature.
