Wicked Plant Art

“We are not like others. We have claws for a reason.”

Ethan Chandler

A wickedly imaginative blend of art and nature, this collection reflects the dark obsession of a curious botanist logging sketches, photos, and handwritten notes into her research journal. You’ll see Stinging Nettle, Hemlock, Poppies, Foxglove, and more. While beautiful and sometimes helpful in small doses, their toxic personalities can also cause discomfort, pain, and even death. As the saying goes, ‘the dose makes the poison’ – and that couldn’t be more true for these plants.

Journal

Let’s step into the dark and beautiful world of toxic and mysterious flora as my Wicked Plant Art collection comes to life in an interactive journal format designed for your own creative explorations.

Tarot Deck

Wicked Plant Art meets the major arcana in this deliciously dark tarot deck.

Like the plants themselves, the cards remind us that healing and harm, beauty and danger, and wisdom and foolishness often grow side by side.

About Luna Thorne

Our curious botanist goes by the name of Luna Thorne. To what end does she log sketches, photos, and handwritten notes about wicked plants in her research journal? Belladonna, Hemlock, Poppies, and Foxglove are at the forefront of her dark obsession. But are they friend or foe? While beautiful and sometimes helpful in small doses, their toxic personalities can also cause discomfort, pain, and even death. 

She is no longer afraid of the dark. So when the full moon beckons, Luna answers the call in the hopes that her wicked plants reveal even more of their deliciously dark secrets.
