Lotti Brown Designs - art, illustration, crafts

About Lotti Brown

Hello! I'm Lotti Brown. Very pleased to meet you...

I'm an artist-illustrator-designer and keen nature journaler.

I feel my best and do my best work when I get to spend time in nature and feel connected with nature so I focus on art, illustrations and designs inspired by nature...

I live with my husband and my collie dog in a tiny cottage in rural East Yorkshire so I'm lucky enough to get lots of nature right on my doorstep that often finds its way into my work - nature journaling helps so much with this!

I also love history, folklore, Celtic and medieval art, flowers, trees, and gardens.

I believe...

#1 Creativity can help bring calm to busy minds

#2 Living life in the slow lane is good for us

#3 We aren’t just made of science but of stories, art, creativity, magic, and imagination

#4 Art and creativity can connect us with the natural world

#5 We need nature in our everyday lives

I enjoy creating my artwork traditionally

I believe that we're meant to be in nature - and as humans we're meant to be living our lives as part of the natural world.

I worry that we're giving up our souls to technology and concrete and forgetting that we're part of nature...

I worry that we're losing our feeling of personal connection with the natural world.

I want to live in a world where we live at one with nature, we feel connected to nature, love nature, and live in a way that we feel we have a sense of guardianship and protection for that thing we love.

I believe that nature journaling can be a reminder of our connection with nature and the natural world in our busy daily lives...

I also have a collection of downloadable craft designs, mainly for Cricut and other cutting machines - click 'Play' above...

I love sharing my craft designs - because I know that it's fun to make things, it's rewarding to gift something beautiful that you've made and that makes someone's day...

And it’s vital for the emotional, mental, and physical health of us all to be able to connect with our personal creativity, whether that's crafting, nature journaling, drawing, or just appreciating and enjoying the artworks and designs you have in your own home...

The natural world is full of wonder - it's our job to find it!

Curiosity can help us learn about the amazing world we live in!

We need a sense of connection and belonging for us as humans as part of the natural world - it nourishes our bodies and souls and we must act as its guardians.

I do hope you'll join me for a while and explore Lotti Brown Designs with me...
