Hi, I'm Maddie, the creator behind Lumina, based in beautiful Cornwall. I've loved jewellery for as long as I can remember- always stacking bracelets and sneaking them into school, even when I wasn't supposed to!

Pam is a self taught paper artist taking inspiration from nature and in particular the diverse range of plant life found right here in Cornwall, from the traditional hedgerows to the sub tropical gardens.
Working with different types of paper, alongside acrylic paints, inks and pastels, Pam recreates 3D sculptural flowers and miniature collectibles.
Each piece is made by hand, using various methods and paper cutting techniques. Pam uses her own photographs, found botanical plates and the occasional real flower to inform her work, although she much prefers to leave the real thing for the bees, insects, and other people to enjoy
