Painting detailed, vibrant watercolours inspired by the natural world.
“I live in the Surrey Hills in England, surrounded by lush countryside and colourful gardens.
To me, there’s nothing more joyful than to spend a sunny afternoon with flowers.
Taking in their every glorious detail.
No rush. No to-do list.
It’s that sense of slowing down and really looking that I aim to bring into my paintings.
And into your home.”
I began botanical painting in 2006 – without any lessons! Just 18 months later I won a Gold Medal from the Royal Horticultural Society for Botanical Art.
And within 2 years I was exhibiting at the Chelsea Flower Show having given up my day-job to paint full time.
Since then I’ve exhibited extensively in the UK and also in the US and have established a successful online School & community called Nature Studio where I teach people from all over the world to paint in my style.
My botanical paintings and Limited Editions have found homes in public and private collections across the world. You can read some reviews here.
And you can find out more about me, view a huge portfolio of my work, and even take a free watercolour video class over at NatureStudio.com.”
