About botanicalannie
Annie Pattersons original botanical art - watercolours on paper and on vellum with a few in gouache or oil.
Subjects range from tulips to cabbages and each botanical painting is unique and painted from a 'real' plant and can take many hours/weeks of work.
If you are interested in a botanical illustration or commissioning a plant portrait, please contact me and I will send a list of available work and more info.
After a long career in design for a very diverse range of clients, Annie changed direction and gained a Diploma in Botanical Illustration from the English Gardening School at the Chelsea Physic Garden, London in 2002.
Exhibitions followed in the USA, Australia, UK and Europe and she contributes to Florilegia and Public and private collections. These include the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation, the Highgrove Florilegium, the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew and the Sydney Florilegium, Chateau de Villandry and recently the Shirley Sherwood Collection. She has recently been awarded the Diane Bouchier Award for excellence in botanical art.
She is a gallery artist at Forum botanische-kunst, a gallery in Germany specializing in 'botanical' subjects, run by Sylvia Peter.
Annie is located in the Loire Valley, France where she grows and collects unusual and interesting plants to paint, combining traditional drawing and painting skills with lively compositions.
