Watching fruit and vegetables grow on her father’s allotment sparked Jeni Neale's love for botanical art. Capturing the essence and character of a plant in detail, it’s shape and zing of colour is a constant challenge. There’s always something to paint without leaving the house! She enjoys the process of painting and it’s tranquillity and therapeutic qualities. She teaches regular classes for adults on all aspects of botanical art and has regularly exhibited with the B.S.B.A, the Society of Botanical Artists, the Birmingham Watercolour Society and the SBA. She has three paintings in the Chelsea Physic Garden Florilegium Archive and one in the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation in the USA.
