Hannah Watters, Primula Auricula III

Hannah has lived in London and worked in Luxury Travel PR and marketing for just under a decade (whilst designing on the side!), working with boutique interior designers, Italian villa companies as well as some of the largest international luxury hospitality companies in the world.

​

One of Hannah's biggest passions is painting. Hannah paints in watercolour in her home in London and, in the last few years, has collaborated with Fulham Palace House & Garden and had her work featured in Country Living, Town & Country, Condé Nast Traveller and Liz Earle Wellbeing magazines. Several of Hannah's Collections are also on display in Fulham in the Glasshouse Café.

This is the second in the series of 'The Glasshouse Collection'. This painting depicts a primula auricula, one of Hannah's favourite species of flowers.

​

The inspiration behind the Collection's name is twofold.

Potted auriculas remind Hannah of the potted plants that are sold in The Palace Gardener in Fulham, where you can find her favourite cafe: The Glasshouse.

Auriculas are also traditionally grown in the shelter of a 'theatre', half outside, half in, so Hannah grew hers on the window sills in her art studio. It is bathed in sunlight, thanks to big windows, but protected from the elements, similar to a glasshouse.

​Always looking to paint from life, Hannah cultivated these delicate flowers in her studio in January so they would flower in time for the beginning of spring.
