TECHNIQUES
Painting with watercolour.

APPROACH AND INSPIRATION
Flowers and plants! As a gardener and plantsperson I find that my inspiration comes from the detailed observation of the plants I grow.

BIOGRAPHY
With a Norwegian mother and an Irish father, I came to know both countries as I grew up. Based in Co. Kerry now, I still spend much of each summer in my family home, Tourin House, in Co. Waterford. Over the years I have attended various art courses in France, the UK, and Ireland, including one in Botanical Illustration at Kew Gardens.
