Behind the drawn leaves, the painted ones: hand-painted paper leaves, 2025.

Hazel Buchan cuts, folds, draws and paints by hand. Her paper has starred in ad campaigns and exhibition halls, set tables for banquets and filled whole rooms with flowers.

Brands, agencies and event planners bring her a brief. She answers it with scissors, a pen and a great deal of paper.

Paper

Campaign sculptures, exhibition pieces and shop windows, straight off the cutting mat.

Real hand-drawn unique illustrations. Editorial, packaging, wine labels, postcards and billboards.

Installations for launches, conferences, runways and gardens, built in the studio and installed on site.

Every leaf, feather and petal is drawn, cut, painted and glued by hand, and the studio is where it happens.

At the table: paper waves cut, layered and placed by hand. Three times speed.
