​I am botanical artist & teacher living in Stanton Drew in Somerset. My work is inspired by the flora, fauna, fungi and wildlife on my country walks. I am a keen photographer but mostly works from live specimens where I can study the plant in more detail for accurate representation. 

I studied MA Textile Design at Bath Spa University and Graphic Design at the City of Bristol College and have a Certificate in Botanical Illustration.
