I had the pleasure to visit her gallery at Kew many years ago, a lasting impression of passion of abundant beauty in nature.
Wow. How have I never heard of her before?
Impressive painter!
And very well presented! Thank you
Absolutely remarkable person!
Ms North also went to South Africa and painted some of our exquisite plant life. Please correct your maps!!
Syria, Egypt, Switzerland, Austria too. Wikipedia preferable to faux-gushy, dumbed-down, heavy-handed BBC4 editing -
