I’m Lena, the artist behind Honeyherb Studio. The strongest relationship in my life is the one I share with nature. My work grows from close observation of the natural world, its quiet details, changing rhythms, and everyday wonders. Through my art, I reflect on the connection I feel with the living world around me and invite others to notice the beauty, mystery, and meaning found in nature.

Vertical and Horizontal Layers of the Forest

Created for the book Rewilding Garden, this illustration presents the vertical and horizontal layers of a forest ecosystem, from canopy, understory, shrubs, and ground plants to forest, meadow, wet meadow, and wetland habitats. Native plants and animals are woven throughout the scene, showing how diverse species and landscapes connect within a living, rewilded environment.

Layers of Life

This illustration presents the vertical layers of a forest, from the canopy and understory to the shrub, herbaceous, and ground layers. Fallen logs, mushrooms, and small plants occupy the forest floor, where organic matter gradually decomposes and becomes part of the soil, supporting the continuous cycle of life within the ecosystem. (Illustrated for the book Rewilding Garden)

Flowers for wildlife

Illustrated for the book Rewilding Garden, this work suggests a selection of native and non-invasive exotic plants that can support wildlife and pollinators. The herbaceous and grass planting community balances structure, fullness, and visual highlights, while varied plant forms create layers, rhythm, and seasonal interest within a composition that feels both natural and carefully designed.

Water for Garden Birds

This illustration presents native birds using a bird-friendly water station designed with perches, deep and shallow basins, rocky areas, and a sandy patch. These varied features provide suitable spaces for different birds to drink, bathe, rest, and forage within the garden. (Illustrated for the book Rewilding Garden)

From Forest to Wetland

This illustration presents a gradual transition from forest and meadow to wet meadow and wetland habitats. Native plants, water plants, birds, and fish are woven into the landscape, showing how different ecological zones connect and support diverse forms of life.

Life Beneath the Leaf Litter

This nature journal records some of the tiny creatures found in a pile of dry leaves at home. In a small area of about 150 × 80 cm, the soil, fallen leaves, and old wood are intentionally left undisturbed. Although it is only a little corner of the garden, it supports the greatest variety of small animals found there.

Friends Along the Way

This nature journal gathers observations from Tak, Chiang Mai, and Mae Hong Son trip; flowers, spiny-backed spiders, insects in the rice fields, and a small striped squirrel that paused to look back at me. Together, these moments reflect the quiet wonder of meeting nature along the journey.

Along the Dry Dipterocarp Forest Trail

This nature journal records orchids and other plants encountered along the way through the dry dipterocarp forest of Ban Dong, Chiang Dao, in 2025. It captures small botanical discoveries and quiet moments of observation within the changing forest landscape.

Plants Along Prem Prachakorn Canal

This nature journal records a biodiversity walk in Bang Sue, focusing on the plant community growing along the banks of Prem Prachakorn Canal. It highlights the often-overlooked vegetation that thrives beside an urban waterway and contributes to the area’s living ecosystem.

Watching Bees at Rot Fai Park

This nature journal records a day spent quietly observing bees at Rot Fai Park. It captures the small details that become visible when we pause and pay close attention to the living world around us.
