Hello folks,
Well, we’ve hit the back end of the year, creeping up on the solstice. I’m looking forward to getting the afternoon light back, painting in artificial light can be so draining!
I spent a little while designing some seasonal card boxed packs, perfect for gifts. Available through my etsy shop:
I’m vaguely managing to keep up the painting momentum from the start of the year, but am working on big pieces so slow going.
My big painting ‘Peony, Greenbank Garden‘ is hanging as part of the current exhibition ‘Botanical Blues‘ at the Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art in Kew Gardens, London.
This exhibition will be on until the 23rd of March 2025.
‘The Fool’ (below) is on show in New York at the 27th Annual Exhibition of the American Society of Botanical Artists, from September 25th to December 28th, at the:
Society of Illustrators
128 E. 63rd Street
New York, NY
If you’re in the area, it looks like a fascinating place to visit, and the exhibition itself will be something else.
I’ve accepted my technological limitations, and have given up trying to manage a shop on this website, and submitted to the whims of Etsy – if you would like to grab some cards / wrapping paper / prints or even selected originals, pop over and have a look:

Thanks so much for reading, and happy internetting,
Victoria
Current work in progress – Another peony (no one is shocked, can’t help it) This one’s my biggest yet – 105 x 76 cm – going to be quite monstrous in her glory!
