Born
on April 18th 1974 in Bristol, England, to Welsh and German
parents, I grew up on the Somerset coast. .
I studied fashion and textiles at Winchester School of Art,
Hampshire, and garden and landscape design at Cannington College,
Somerset, taking up botanical painting in 1998. |
For several years I was a botanical artist living on Exmoor, during
which time I produced the paintings for my book 'Drawing and Painting
Plants'. I now live in Central London.
| My
interests include botany, chemistry, geology, geometry, maps
and cartography, calligraphy and typography, heraldry, subtropical
and tropical plants, ceramics, and botanical art. For years
I have tried to reconcile all these diverse interests, finding
the various artistic media that I now practise the best means
of accomplishing this!

I
am also musical; I play keyboard and guitar and write experimental-,
folk- and country-inspired songs. It's possible that I may make
a selection of my recordings available on the Web in the near
future.
