Amy Shelton is a British visual artist and founder of the arts organization Honeyscribe. This organization explores how art can be a powerful tool to connect the world with nature. It provides participatory programs that emphasize the connection between human and environmental health. In recent years she has created the Florilegium series, bespoke works of art linked to the natural landscape for well-being and health. These works are created from a unique palette of plants important to the place. They are produced in dialogue with hospitals and local communities. They support patients and engage the public on climate change and health topics, such as celebrating local biodiversity.
