A selection of original botanical paintings inspired by the wild plants and landscapes of Scotland.
The gallery brings together detailed botanical studies in watercolour and other media, from familiar wildflowers to plants discovered on the hills, coast and closer to home. New work is added regularly, with selected originals and fine art prints available.
If you would like to enquire about an original painting, a print or a commission, please get in touch.
