Christine Stephenson is a leading botanical artist with an international reputation. A Royal Horticultural Society gold and silver medallist, she has also received the ultimate accolade in the world of botanical art – an invitation to contribute to the Hunt Institute (Pittsburgh, USA), the largest archive of botanical painting in the world.

She paints from life, her subjects freshly picked from her own exquisite garden, working under magnification to capture her subject in the finest detail. A painting may take up to six weeks to complete, such is the painstaking nature of the work, each one truly a labour of art.
