About Somang

Every sale pays Somang directly.A meaningful share of each purchase goes to the artist.

Somang Lee is a London-based illustrator working from her studio in Hackney. Since graduating from the Royal College of Art, she has focused on building a practice rooted in the local creative community and a deep, personal inquiry into the natural world. Her work stems from a plant diary she began in 2016, which serves as a record of her relationship with nature. By collecting and identifying specimens found on her walks, she translates botanical life into delicate compositions using pencil, watercolor, and paper cutouts.

Visual voice

Lee’s aesthetic is defined by a meticulous, observational approach to botany, blending traditional watercolor with the tactile quality of paper cutouts. Her work captures the quiet details of found plants through soft textures and precise pencil work.
