Protea No. I Botanical Sketch Framed Wall Art by Sara Berrenson

Graceful and sculptural, Protea No. I captures the distinctive form of the protea through expressive, understated linework. Designed by independent artist Sara Berrenson, the composition has the quiet character of a botanical study while retaining a clean, contemporary sensibility—an easy bridge between old-world natural history and a more collected modern interior.

The artwork is reproduced as a giclée print using fade-resistant inks, preserving the delicate details of the original illustration. Gallery-quality acrylic provides crystal-clear viewing while helping protect the artwork from UV exposure and light damage. Each piece is finished in designer moulding and framed by hand in Madison, Wisconsin, arriving ready to hang.

Within The Conservatory, Protea No. I feels particularly at home among clipped greenery, garden books, terracotta, aged stone, and botanical specimens. Its restrained linework also makes it a natural companion for The Garden Pavilion and The Designer’s Courtyard, where it introduces an organic counterpoint to architectural forms and more substantial furnishings.

Designer’s Styling Note
Allow the simplicity of the drawing to do the work. Hang Protea No. I above a garden console or potting table, lean it behind a collection of weathered vessels, or incorporate it into a botanical gallery wall alongside vintage landscapes and smaller naturalist studies. Pairing it with Protea No. II, if available, would create a particularly beautiful collected arrangement.
