Cheralyn Darcey

I am an Environmental Artist, Author and Flower Reader and the author and artist (illustrator) of the 'Australian Wildflower Reading Cards' Rockpool Publishing, 2014 and other soon to be released Nature Inspired Books and Decks.
I also create 'Flora Flower', a Nature~ loving cartoon friend who shares her passion for gardening, plant wisdom and inspirations. Flora is a present very busy assisting with the creation of a range of books based on her daily life in the garden and out in nature.

I have a lifelong connection with exploring the many faceted properties of plants. Botanical, Mythological, Spiritual, Medicinal, Culinary, in fact our whole connection with the Plant World and through this rekindled the ancient tradition of Flower Reading, (Floramancy) Also a teacher of creative arts with a focus on environmental arts, I have enjoyed a 30 year commitment to also sharing my passion for Nature based traditions with a strong centre of environmentalism.

My Art has featured in workshops, exhibitions, art prizes and publications internationally for the last 30 years. Working in Waste to Art Mediums and Mixed Media, I find that creating works that encourage others to look a little deeper at what is already here, encourages a greater care and understanding of our Earth and ourselves.

My Reading Cards and Books go a little way to ensuring that wherever you are in this world, the power of the language of nature, flowers and plants through their messages and songs and profound healing powers will now be in your hands always.
