Jean Henley
My affinity with nature developed early with a love of gardens and the beauty of plants through their seasonal transitions. Upon retirement and with no known artistic ability, I enrolled in a botanical art class conducted by Lauren Black, one of Australia’s leading botanical artists, to learn to capture the intrinsic beauty of the plants using watercolour as the medium.
