This luminous gaiety also runs through the Jardins botaniques series, which this globetrotting artist has photographed around the world for a decade: California cacti, romantic Lisbon gardens, Goethe's palm in Padua. The series recalls the sketchbooks of eighteenth-century travellers daydreaming in the Boboli gardens: Elizabeth Lennard lingers on our behalf, hurried travellers that we are, photographing and heightening our gaze with colour, repainting and reinterpreting it, renewing our perception and offering a poetic snapshot refreshed by a thoroughly contemporary aesthetic.
