Jane Marshall Fitzgerald is the Kings Seeds featured artist for June!

Jane Marshall Fitzgerald is Kings Seeds featured artist for June and as such a print of her gorgeous watercolour of a tamarillo plant was part of Kings Seeds give-away earlier in the year.

Jane says,

I am a botanical artist living in Karitane, a seaside village near Dunedin. I have a particular interest in the science of plants and how art can connect the 'viewer' with the intricate beauty and design of plants that enables them to reproduce and enhance our environment. My art often depicts various stages of growth from bud to flower and then seed.

I enjoy discovering the habitat and origins of the plants I paint, and actively seek stories from growers about plants that have captured my interest.

I prefer using watercolours, layering to get the transparency and intensity of colour, but also enjoy graphite and ink, and in various combinations.
