Wilderframe’s decorative artworks celebrate the evanescent beauty of nature and flowers through a range of media from cut paper to sculpted brass. Working from her Scottish garden studio, pieces include painted and potted tole flowers and a range of wall-hanging floral pieces in eye catching hand-finished frames.
Nestled in the heart of the Scottish countryside, Fi McDougall is the creative force behind Wilderframe, crafting original wall art and floral sculptures that celebrate the natural beauty of plants and flowers.
Fi’s approach is both mindful and meticulous, with every piece hand-cut and assembled using sustainable materials whenever possible. Each frame is carefully hand-finished in her studio, adding a personal touch to every creation.
Fi’s journey began in the world of English literature, where she specialised in Shakespearian and Victorian poetry. Her deep appreciation for the natural world, often reflected in these literary works, now finds expression in her art. Many of her creations start in her garden, with plants that are either homegrown or discovered nearby. The subjects not only captivate with their structure and form but also resonate with poetic or symbolic meaning.
Wilderframe’s origins lie in the delicate art of pressed flowers, but it has since blossomed into a dynamic studio embracing various media, including paper collage, paint, and metalwork. Fi’s work is ever-evolving, constantly exploring new techniques and materials.
Framing is an integral part of Fi’s artistry. She brings her pieces to life by pairing them with contrasting textures and colours, using hand-finished techniques such as vibrant paint effects or traditionally marbled papers. Each frame is designed to complement and enhance the floral artwork within, offering versatility to suit diverse interior styles.
Fi’s work has attracted a diverse clientele, from interior designers and retail spaces to private collectors.
Her collections have been featured with Style Your Spaces, Domenica Marland, and Art for Charity Collective, and she has exhibited in various locations across Scotland.
