Inspired by Australia's rich network of botanic gardens, Caroline Barrett is creating a series of pochoir prints.
The series begins in Portland Botanic Gardens, Victoria, a hidden tranquil beauty, established in the 1850s, and the second oldest botanic garden in Australia. Caroline visited during peak Dahlia season. The Dahlia beds were laid out in 1884, and they now hold 1,350 Dahlia plants from 180 stunning varieties.
Caroline is creating at Firestation Print Studio, Melbourne, a vibrant hub for printmakers from all over Australia.
