Jenny Phillips,, a Gold Medallist from The Australian National Print Awards 1998, and The Royal Horticultural Society, London 1993, has focused her drawing, watercolour skills, and love of gardening on botanical art since 1971. In doing so, she has developed her skill and knowledge to a remarkable level. Jenny's ability to capture the 'essence', beauty and life of a plant, without compromising on botanical details, makes her work extremely collectable.
