Dye Plant Montage from the Sally Pinhey Collection - www.sallypinhey.com

Sally Pinhey is one of England's foremost botanical watercolour artists, with a flair for lively and detailed illustrations of flowers and fruits.

It is her love of the beauty of nature that shines out in all her work, and she instills this into her classes with intense and infectious energy.

The visual communication of pure art should be direct and immediate. Her work highlights the beauty of nature and she teaches this appreciation to her students, her perception and work is strikingly three-dimensional.

From her stone farmhouse in Dorset England, Sally captures the beauty of plants in their full glory and detail in her range of botanical watercolours, prints and greetings cards.
