COMMISSIONS
As a child, Sally spent many happy hours painting wild flowers. At junior school she filled her nature note book with flower paintings which was then exhibited in London when she was 11 years old.
Sally’s work developed dramatically when she studied under Anne Marie Evans at the English Gardening School’s Diploma Course in Botanical Illustration where she achieved a Distinction.
Sally’s passion for flowers now shines through in her paintings which are both detailed, strong and attractive to the eye.
