lepidopteris

Butterflies are fascinating insects and have been the focus of my attention since I was a little girl. I am intrigued and excited when one flutters into my garden or flits by in the street. I have painted them and put them in designs for clothes or crafts and even on cakes. I never get weary of them. They are beautiful and I love them!
I have painted for many years mostly in watercolour, but sometimes in acrylics or oil. I have studied Botanical Art and gained a distinction for my work with the SBA . I like to paint very detailed compositions but also like to experiment with a looser and playful style like the one I have used for 'Fred the Flutterby' .
I would like to be helpful in conserving the habitats of our decreasing wildlife species , so I hope Fred will draw attention to our wonderfully rich natural environment that is just on our doorstep. 'Fred' is a fun way to explain the life cycle of butterflies as well as inspire children and adults to appreciate their beauty .
