About Oana Befort | Founder of Botanica Paper Co:

My artistic journey began when I was just a child. I had an innate love for various forms of art and design. I loved creating with anything I could get my hands on, which led to exploring different mediums and techniques that would spark my creativity. I collected greeting cards from family members that lived in other parts of the world, and I used to hand-paint cards for friends and family on special events. I continue to hold that passion in me today, and I love applying various analog and digital techniques to whatever inspires my work.

Since 2010 my work has grown slowly and organically from humble beginnings, progressing to collaborating with prestigious companies and developing my own stationery line. I gather inspiration from the endless beauty of the natural world, botanicals, fauna, nostalgia, and the timeless folk motifs of my Romanian roots.

In January of 2023 I officially rebranded my stationery line as Botanica Paper Co. Derived from the Romanian term for botanical garden, "Gradina Botanica," Botanica embodies the essence of natural beauty and wonder. Since childhood, botanical gardens have held a special place in my heart, inspiring awe and fascination with their lush landscapes and diverse flora. In naming my company Botanica, I aim to capture the essence of these enchanting spaces, translating their beauty onto the pages of my stationery. I strive to infuse every design with the same sense of wonder and joy that I experience amidst the blooms and greenery of a botanical garden.
