Miniature art experienced a true boom on Instagram in recent years, with many new artists being plucked from obscurity to rack up thousands of followers. Hannah Lemon is one of them, and she mostly specializes in making tiny plants that look just as good as the real thing.
Lemon was born and raised in Japan, but she ended up moving to the UK about a decade ago. She holds a B.A. in Film and Media and an M.A. in Freelance Photography, and she mostly worked as a freelance photographer until the pandemic hit.
Lemon rediscovered her passion for miniature art during this time, using everything from clay, wood, and paper to build tiny homes filled with miniature houseplants.
“I really wanted to do something creative so I decided to play around with air-drying clay in my drawer. I am a crazy collector of houseplants and I tried to make my dream mini home full of them,” she told Mirror.
Lemon’s fantasy miniature homes are filled with vintage furniture and appliances, but there’s a reason why none of them is complete without plants. The beauty of nature has always been her main source of inspiration, and her miniature art allowed her to explore it through a whole new medium.
