THE WHOLE STORY,
painting more than just the flowers
Christina’s new book was officially published on 21 September 2020 as part of the Botanical Portfolios series from Two Rivers Press. It features illustrations and artworks from Christina’s long career in botanical painting. Christina explains why she is drawn to particular subjects and, while this is not a how-to-do-it book, she shares hints, tips and some of her working processes. Christina is fascinated by all aspects of the natural world and how they interact. She looks at plants and other organisms from the scientific, aesthetic and cultural viewpoints – telling the whole story in fact.
