About Artist

Gayle Hallowell

I am a UK-based botanical artist and scientist, and have recently completed an MA in Photography at Falmouth University. My practice explores the relationships between plants, place, and process through both cameraless and camera-based techniques. Working with lumen prints, cyanotypes, chromatograms, and digital images, I create work that combines experimental processes with detailed observation. Rooted in research and observation, my work investigates the hidden structures and rhythms of plant life, seeking to make visible the often-overlooked systems that sustain and connect living environments.
