Mary-Clare Cornwallis – Original Watercolor

Mary-Clare Cornwallis – Original Watercolor.

Mary has studied under, amongst others, the distinguished botanical artists Rosie Sanders and Evelyn Binns and has exhibited here in the UK, America and Australia. Her work is in collections worldwide.  She is married to the actor Ian McCulloch and now lives and works in S.W. Scotland.

Mary-Clare’s love of nature- plants, birds, animals, etc- stems from her childhood growing up in the county of Kent, ‘the garden of England’. She works mainly in water colour and her flower paintings, some of which are on a very large scale, are vibrant and sensual. She has moved away from precise botanical accuracy to produce images which catch the eye and spur the imagination. As a result her loose flowing style gives each picture the opportunity to be revisited and re-interpreted.
