  • Nymphaea violacea - Australian blue waterlily


I live in Canberra having moved there with my husband seven years ago to be closer to family. Previously we lived just outside the beautiful town of Armidale in the New England area of New South Wales for almost fifty years.

I was inspired and encouraged to paint and draw by my mother and grandmother both of whom were artists. Their love also of gardening and gardens brought me to a passion for botanical art. The close observation of the natural world and attention to detail, the use of the glazing techniques to illustrate the sublime colors of that world required for this form of art has always appealed to me.

The challenge of representing a particular specimen so that its true personality is revealed is I believe the real challenge for the Botanical Artist.
