AFTER THE FIRE
My study of 6 plants that reappear in the same growing season after wildfire. They are all set against burnt gorse sticks. These are now in London for the RHS Botanical Art Exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery, from June 19th. I am delighted to have been recognised with a Bronze Award on my very first submission to the RHS … and on a subject which is not entirely within the scope of the horticultural genre! But, After the Fire is a set of illustrations which offer a hopeful overview of the resilience of the natural world which can recover so quickly after a devastating wild fire.
‘After the Fire’ - 6 illustrations awarded an RHS Medal at
the exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery in June and July:

Plant Portraits
These studies focus on individual plants — their structure, character, and the quiet personality each one reveals when observed closely. Jenny works from life whenever possible, using careful drawing and layered watercolour washes to build depth and clarity.Learn to paint with Jenny - Jenny runs a small,
friendly weekly class suitable for beginners and
improvers. Students learn observational drawing,
watercolour techniques, and the fundamentals of
botanical illustration in a relaxed, supportive
environment. For more details click here
Classic Botanical Illustrations
Inspired by traditional botanical art, these pieces combine scientific accuracy with artistic expression. Jenny’s training in observation and fine detail allows her to create illustrations that are both informative and beautiful.
Botanical Illustration : a marvellous way to
discover the small things of the world.
