I am a founding member and natural history artist with a primary interest in butterflies and their larval host food plants.  I spent 20 years as a science teacher before returning to my love of botanical art and I am really looking forward to helping grow the association for the benefit of our members.  Please feel free to contact me at any time, I would love to hear from you.

Managed by members of the ABA Team the ABA Gallery and website are key resources for bringing our members together to showcase their work regardless of location or ability. We welcome all artists interested in botanical art.

I am a self taught artist with a passion for creating realistic Botanical Art in watercolour. 

I particularly enjoy the challenge of recreating the small details in my artwork, especially in leaves.

I have been painting professionally for twenty five years, initially as a Muralist and Decorative Painter, then as an Art Teacher and now as a freelance Botanical Artist and Illustrator. I have a Diploma with Merit from The Chelsea School of Botanical Art and I am a Painting Member of The Chelsea Physic Garden Florilegium Society, The Association of Botanical Artists (ABA), The American Society of Botanical Artists (ASBA) and Amicus Botanicus. I work with industries and magazines who use botanicals in their products and in their marketing. I also welcomes private commission.

Art Curator at the RHS Lindley Library in London. Having started looking after the Society's botanical art collection 15 years ago, I love seeing how it inspires new artists. With over 400 years' worth of pictures, including works by the most recent RHS Gold medal winners.  I could never choose just one favourite piece!

Founding member and highly regarded botanical artist who between paintings works on local plant conservation, surveying wildflower habitats for local authorities and helping local communities improve their wildlife areas.

I am passionate about plants and  have a degree in Botany from Bristol University, I  still live in the Bristol area. For over twenty years I have been involved in Botanical Art both as a practitioner and as a teacher. 

I have been awarded three Silver-gilt medals by the RHS and my work is in many collections including the RHS Lindley Library and the Hunt institute in Pittsburgh North America.

I am also a keen gardener with a particular interest in our native flora.

I read Botany at Southampton University and went on to complete my PhD on mycorrhiza in chalk grassland at Cambridge.    As an artist I am largely self taught and use my observational skills to create drawings, mostly in ink, of subjects that are both accurate and full of the character of that species.  I particularly enjoy portraying ancient, native trees, some of which are over 500 years old.
