I have always loved the little details in life and in nature. I enjoy seeing the overall design but can’t help zooming in to marvel at the intricacies to be discovered up close. I have lived a diverse professional horticultural life as magazine editor and freelance contributor to high profile professional horticultural magazines, combined with several years’ experience as a business development consultant as well as horticultural educator. I am a qualified Horticulturist and long-term member of the Horticultural Media Association Australia (Vic).
As a convert to the botanical art and illustration scene, I am enjoying turning my mind to a new way of looking at nature. It has allowed me to re-discover plants and the amazing structures and natural design found within their form. I am loving putting my passion and respect for plants into my paintings.
