Have you ever thought about the inseparable connection between flowers and fabric?

Floral prints boast a rich, enduring legacy in fashion and home goods. The history of floral motifs proves their perennial popularity across different eras and styles. 

Their symbiotic and ever-evolving partnership has shaped our décor and wardrobe choices and even impacted the cars we drive.

Using flowers originated in Ancient Egypt when visual designs began featuring floral elements. 

People in Ancient Greece and Rome wore real flowers to adorn their clothing. This not only added scent to the flower designs of the time but was also thought to bring luck or ward off evil energies. 

As time progressed, floral patterns began featuring silk and ikat cloth traded across Asia and Europe due to the existence of the Silk Road.

During the "Tulip Era" from 1520 to about 1730, the Ottoman Empire played a pivotal role in the global development of flower decor and fashion.

Tulips featured prominently in Persia in the 17th century when they were planted in the gardens of notable individuals like Sultan Suleiman and Ahmet III.

Fabric designs often featured tulips alongside vines and pomegranates.

This colorful image made us think of the great symbiosis between fabric and flowers, and we hope you enjoy its representation as a puzzle.

Joan Thewsey

Joan Thewsey is a British watercolorist celebrated for her richly detailed floral still life and serene landscapes. Born in Yorkshire, she began her artistic education at Barnsley Art School, followed by advanced studies at the Slade School of Art, University of London, where she earned a Fine Art degree. Her talent was recognized with a Summer Exhibition Prize and a Goldsmiths' Company Travel Award, allowing her to further refine her classical foundations in Florence.

Over a career spanning more than two decades, Thewsey has become known for her large-scale watercolors that capture the delicate interplay of light and color in natural settings. Her subjects range from lush bouquets and garden scenes to tranquil rural landscapes, often inspired by the Suffolk countryside where she lived and worked. Her paintings, held in private collections and exhibited in British galleries, are a testament to her enduring appeal among collectors and art enthusiasts, who appreciate her unique ability to capture the beauty of the natural world.

Thewsey's contribution to the art community extends beyond her painting. As an educator, she has shared her expertise at London colleges, inspiring aspiring artists with her dedication to the craft. Her most significant contribution, however, is her co-founding of the Five Women Artists Plus group in Suffolk. This initiative, aimed at creating opportunities for women's art to be seen and appreciated, is a testament to her commitment to equality in the art world. Even in her 80s, Thewsey's prolific painting is a powerful example of lifelong dedication to art, inspiring others with her passion and commitment.
