Paint with confidence 🎨

This free guide includes:

  • My go-to paints and brushes

  • Paper I trust for botanical work

Hi, I’m Helen.

I’m a botanical illustrator, doctor, and teacher based in Kent, England.

I’ve been painting for over 15 years and studied with the Society of Botanical Artists, graduating with distinction.

I now share my love of botanical art through tutorials, workshops, and my membership, helping others experience the calm and creative confidence that comes from putting brush to paper.

  • “I love Helen's work. And it is clear that she loves teaching watercolor to her students.”

  • “Helen is a great teacher. She is both calm and clear while explaining every single detail of the project”
