coloured pencil,pen & ink

Jenny Haslimeier is an award winning botanical and natural history artist. She takes inspiration from everyday life, often incorporating found natural objects and daily happenings into her work. Jenny’s COA exhibition will showcase some of her favourite original artwork from her Animalia range – an ever-growing exploration of the animal kingdom, and her Botanica range – including limited edition giclée prints and greeting cards.

Jenny began drawing at a young age and plants and wildlife were always the main subjects of her paintings. Her early career was spent establishing herself as a graphic designer, later specialising in book design, while illustrating remained a hobby. In 2014 she began the Botanical Illustration diploma at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. Little did she know that in doing so, she would later refocus her career to become an illustrator. In 2016 she graduated from the course with distinction.

She currently splits her time between Edinburgh and Auckland painting, running botanical illustration workshops and (sometimes) designing and illustrating books. She exhibits her work on a regular basis throughout the United Kingdom and New Zealand. You can see he current and upcoming exhibitions on her website.
