F. John & Fiona Owen Artists

Welcome to ‘Drawing Out the Dreaming’ - Sharing my passion for growing, drawing and painting plants; I’ve been a professional painter for over 40 years and created and tended our 1 acre plot organically for 34 years in the Stroud valleys with my husband (also an artist). In these monthly videos I’ll share my garden’s progress and projects throughout the seasons, make essences, potions and lotions from my plants, draw and paint them for my new herb book and meditation cards project and prepare for our next exhibition. I am currently concluding a seven year herbal apprenticeship at The school of Intuitive Herbalism which has deepened my understanding and relationship with plants. I’ve always dreamed about them and my gilded oil paintings are an honouring of Nature. I weave them with layers of magical symbolism and sacred geometry with the focused intention of creating a healing invocation through the symbolism and spirit of the plants, summoning the ancient Green Magic of the Land.
