5 Reasons We All Need A Little Art & Nature In Our Lives

It’s not every day you have a meal with an artist while her vaunted artwork hangs just over your head, but here we are. We’re brunching and chatting with Lucinda Law, a self-taught botanical artist who has amassed close to 17K followers on Instagram (@lucinda. law) as well as the admiration of art lovers, amateur artists, beauty and fashion brands, corporate entities and anyone who has seen her paint live or gush about flowers on her IG Stories. The photogenic 41-year-old, who used to write and lecture, has worked with brands such as Chanel, Kate Spade and Leica, either by lending her intricate botanical illustrations in campaigns and workshops or by appearing as an influencer. She’s also the first brand ambassador for Diptyque Singapore and the first Arts and Graphic ambassador for FaberCastell Singapore. Her two latest coups: An exhibition called Edible Beauty, where till June 4, her watercolour renderings of plants such as pineapples, mushrooms and torch ginger flowers will enthrall diners at Hilton Hotel’s Verde Kitchen; and a project commissioned by Changi Airport Group at the T1 Arrival Hall, where botanical subjects inspired by the gardens of Changi Airport will provide an experiential walk through for visitors till early 2019. We ask her to tell us how art and nature can make our lives just a little bit sweeter.

#1 Creating art helps you to relax, if you can just let go.
