Botanical Art
Margaret specializes in medicinal plants and flowers that bring essences, healing, joy, upliftment and thought. She was born in Winchester-England, and has spent her life between California, Hawaii, the UK, Cape Town-South Africa, Europe, S.E. She has practiced holistic health in a variety of professions for 28 years. Being a natural educator, there is an inclination to teach throug
h her art, inspiring people to learn more about the healing qualities of plants and life enrichment. Margaret received a Diploma in Botanical Illustration from the Royal Botanical Gardens of Edinburgh so uses these skills throughout her work. Portraying the plant/flower in a realistic yet artistic interpretive way inspires her to allow the paint to spread within the waters on the paper. In this way she looses "control" over the painting and feels this can bring the energy of the plant forward for us to see and feel.
