    About

    I am a botanical artist currently living in East Sussex, currently specialising in botanical portraiture.


    I love to draw outside in my Sussex garden and in the surrounding countryside and am equally fascinated in the over looked weeds and wild flowers of the meadows, verges  and seemingly innocuous plants and trees of woodlands as the more grand stately blooms, and love to depict the seasonal changes of British flora.


    I love the meditative process of drawing with a fine liner pen especially on very large scale work.  I often leave these drawings as linear works but equally have always had a passion for colour , which I apply loosely in watercolour, ink and pen. 


    I have been n the visual arts all of my life, specifically as a knitwear consultant working with the most  high profile and elite fashion designers and design labels around the world in inspirational creative capacity, and I am still very much involved in this field which I love, but find the joy of botanical art to be my new passion, and something very special which I began to explore during lockdown.


    I hope to try an capture the spirit of my botanical subjects in a fluid and energetic manner, full of colour and optimism.


    I sell my original art framed and unframed at fairs and markets and have also developed a range of table linen based on my art work as well as a large range of greetings cards which I also sell at The Garden Museum in London , at Le Jardins of La Prieure Notre Dame D'Orsan, France and other select retailers.

    A. At Yellow Minnow Sketch, all of my Limited Edition prints are 1/25, and bespoke printed to order.  Once you have ordered your print, I will instruct the Giclee printmakers and they will send the print to me, I will then Title , Date, Sign and Edition your print by hand on the front of your print in pencil unless otherwise instructed, and then dispatch your parcel to you asap by whichever means you have requested.  Lead time depends on the post between the Printmakers and myself, but I can usually send out Limited Edition Prints within a week of receiving your order, but maybe leave a bit more time just before Xmas.
