About the Artist

Iona's first love is Botanical Illustration, although she now paints a wide range of wildlife, including the hares & birds that live in her garden. She works with traditional watercolour techniques and places great importance on close attention to detail to capture the essence of her subjects. Her inspiration comes mostly from her rural location and the plants and wildliife that surround her.

Iona studied Botanical Illustration at the Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh in the 90's. She works in watercolour and enjoys creating detailed studies, working from life wherever possible.

Her originals tend to be small scale, but selected images are also available as Giclee prints in a range of sizes.

As well as artwork, Iona also uses her original imges to produce an ecletic range of homewares including eco-plant pots, kitchen linens, cushions and cards.

This year she has launched a new venture producing preserved moss panels and decorative balls which will also be available to buy.
