She originally trained in watercolour landscapes and still life; prior to moving to Sheffield she spent nearly 20 years living, painting and teaching in the Mendip Hills in Somerset. </p> <p class=main> Botanical illustration focuses on recording the intricate and accurate details of the endless variety of forms and colours displayed in plants. The artist aims to capture the architectural beauty of plants and their seed heads in Winter.<br> With a degree in Geography and Botany from the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and a certificate in Botanical Illustration from the University of Sheffield, Caroline combines her knowledge and love of plants with her artistic expression to produce vibrant and botanically accurate portraits from the plant world. Her paintings are all taken from life and celebrate the intricate beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom. </p> <h1>Latest News</h1> <h2>Upcoming Exhibitions</h2> <p class=mainAlt> Caroline will be exhibiting with the <a href="http://www.rhs.org.uk/" target="_new">Royal Horticultural Society</a> in the <a href="http://www.threecounties.co.uk/springgardening/" target="_new">Malvern Spring Gardening Show</a> at the Three Counties Agricultural Society Showground, 10th-13th May 2012!
