About me

I’m Patricia, a botanical artist working at the intersection of scientific observation and refined artistic practice.

My work focuses on capturing the structure, character, and quiet beauty of plants through traditional watercolour and drawing techniques.

I am currently Head of Design & Communications and a Council Member of the Society of Botanical Artists (SBA), where I support and contribute to the development of contemporary botanical art.

Alongside personal work, I collaborate with collectors, publications, and international clients, including wine brands, creating detailed illustrations for both private commissions and commercial projects.

Each piece is approached with care and precision, aiming to reveal not only the form of a plant, but its presence and story.
