Hello! I'm Helen. I'm a botanical illustrator, designer and teacher living in Windsor, England, but often found painting in my art-studio on wheels, my camper-van, Skye. I've have been studying botanical art for the last 12 years. I was instantly drawn to the synergy of art and science that it represented.
The harmony of science and art is an ongoing theme in my life, as I continue to paint whilst working as a doctor. Alongside my medical degree I completed the Society of Botanical Artists Distance Learning Diploma, graduating with a distinction and the Award For Excellence. Since graduating 6 years ago, I have continued to practice the skills I have learnt, and over the last few years I have found the desire to share the knowledge and skills in botanical illustration which I have developed with others.
I am a strong believer in the wonderful benefits that sitting down and painting - and creating art - can have on our well-being. I have seen how the physical act of putting pencil, pen or paint to paper can be meditative, reduce stress, provide a sense of achievement, and generate a wonderful sense of community.
I host local workshops in botanical illustration, as well as working on my own ideas and projects. I am also extremely passionate about the eBook I created, Let’s Start Botanical Art, you’re one-stop-shop for starting Botanical Art. I also accept personal and commercial commissions.
