Pomegranate, Allium Painting

I am Canadian from Vancouver and now live and work in Dumfriesshire, Scotand, UK. In 2014, I completed a Diploma in Botanical Illustration at Edinburgh Botanical Gardens and show regularly with Edinburgh Society of Botanical Artists. Two of my native plant paintings were selected for the Flora Scotia World Botanical Exhibition in 2018 and were included in Scottish Plant Lore; an illustrated Flora by Greg Kenicer (Oct. 2018). I am interested in Plant Spirit Medicine and native plants growing in my backyard and study their uses for dye and medicine. My other artwork includes Narrative painting inspired by inner vision and story as well as keeping art journals in mixed medium documenting my travels. I have been working in therapeutic arts with adults and children since 1997 (Dramatherapy Diploma), 1998 (PGDip.ED), and 2006 (Counselling Skills for Children, Using the Arts). Artwork sold in London and Edinburgh. Past projects include printmaking, environmental design, woven artifacts and co-worker of multi-cultural arts workshops in museums and schools. I am a member of ESBA and SSBA.
