Penny Gould’s childhood began amongst the steep-banked lanes of rural Devon, strewn with wild flowers at a child’s eye level, which laid the foundations for a life-long fascination with plants. Penny teaches botanical art close to her Oxfordshire home, constantly finding inspiration in its beautiful and plentiful cultivated and wild flora. She is a Fellow of the Chelsea Physic Garden Florilegium Society, and a Fellow of the Society of Botanical Artists, DipSBA (Dist).
