Would you love to become immersed in drawing and painting lifelike images of your favourite plants and flowers? Step away from your daily routine and into a welcoming space where art and nature intertwine. Learn to bring your botanical subjects to life on the page – not by simply copying static photographs, but by developing true observational skills and uncovering your inner artist.

Margaret invites you to join a unique and inspiring art class experience. Each workshop offers clear objectives and a structured, step-by-step teaching style that includes practical demonstrations, detailed class notes, guided exercises, and optional homework for those eager to practise.

Workshops are now delivered in a series of short courses, each comprising four to six classes (2.5 hours each), held twice a month. The instruction presented accommodates both beginner and more experienced levels. Every “workshop series” focuses on a specific seasonal plant. To find out which plant will be featured in an upcoming series, please contact Margaret directly using the details below.

Art materials: a list will be sent with confirmation of your booking.

Margaret enjoys volunteering her time to share her art and skills in pencil, pen, and brush – refined through four years of traditional art training and over thirty years as a natural science illustrator and botanical artist. Since 1978, she has been passionate about teaching, founding and directing two successful botanical art schools in Australia and the USA, each offering a stimulating, holistic curriculum. Her illustrations appear in various publications and her botanical art represented in prestigious private collections overseas.
