Carolyn Jenkins

Painting plants and flowers in watercolour brings together her love of art and gardening. In 2011 she completed the Diploma in Botanical Painting at the English Gardening School, graduating with Distinction and receiving the Best Student award.

She has received two medals at the Royal Horticultural Society Botanical Art Show: a Gold Medal and Best Exhibit in 2011, followed by a Silver-Gilt Medal in 2016.

The RHS Lindley Library has acquired two of her paintings for its collection – Helleborus × hybridus and Dahlia ‘Arabian Night’. In the United States, the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation also holds one of her paintings in its collection.

Recent commercial work includes illustrations for the Barbour × Farm Rio collaboration, Assouline Publishing and Goop.
