The Medieval Modern series of hand painted botanical paintings conceived by the multi-hyphenate artist Lisa Borgnes. 

Each unique series is released as a limited edition volume of sixteen paintings. Borgnes was inspired to create the Medieval Modern series when she stumbled upon a magnificent illustrated codex called The Voynich Manuscript in 2023. The mystery surrounding the codex, as well as the cartoonish naivete and color palette of the illustrations, entranced her. The Voynich Manuscript depicts strange plants never seen on this earth and is written in a script the world’s best cryptographers haven't been able to decipher. Like the manuscript, Borgnes’ fantastical botanicals don’t exist on this earth, so she has free rein to paint whatever she imagines and creates.

Due to the hand painted nature of each item color and detail may vary slightly. To avoid discoloration or fading, avoid direct sunlight.
