Botanical artist to showcase 'precise but joyful' work at exhibition

Sally Pinhey's work will be on display at the Slade Centre from Sunday, February 2 to Wednesday, April 2. Her pieces are described as "precise but joyful" and will be shown alongside other more decorative paintings. The exhibition will display her paintings of colourful summer flowers, alongside original watercolours created for her books.

These include illustrations for her "definitive work" on plums and her latest book, . Prints and copies of her books will also be available at the exhibition. A spokesperson for the exhibition said: "When you hear the word 'flower' what do you think of? "Perhaps it's the scent of jasmine twined around a pergola at dusk? Or the sweet perfume from a bouquet of pale pink roses? "Sally's response to the flower is to show its beauty in detail and study it closely to learn how it survives, reproduces, and like all living things, alters its own environment in the process.
