Welcome
I specalise in botanical illustration using watercolour and have been inspired by working at the Lost Gardens of Heligan and later at the Eden Project, where I was a pivotal member of the Friends team. I hold an RHS Silver Lindley medal for my exhibit of Fungi Found at the Eden Project, and a Bronze medal for watercolours of potatoes.
I am Chairman of the South West Society of Botanical Artists (SWSBA) and a founder member of the Eden Project Florilegium Society. I teach in the West Country with my co-author, Rosie Martin.
I will be exhibiting watercolours, prints and greetings cards at the Birdwood Gallery, Totnes, in May 2010.
