We are so excited to have Ann Swan join us for Beyond the Brush. I met Ann a few years ago when she taught at WCBG. Her style and technique are wonders to behold as colored pencil brings a whole new dimension to Botanical Art.

"Ann Swan is one of the UK’s leading botanical artists working in pencil and coloured pencil; well known for her fine detail, vibrant colour and strong contemporary style. Awarded four Gold Medals by the Royal Horticultural Society, her work is represented in the prestigious Shirley Sherwood Collection and the RHS Lindley Library. She is an enthusiastic and nurturing teacher running regular workshops from her studio in Wiltshire and worldwide, this year visiting Spain, France, Italy and the USA and her book ‘Botanical Painting with Coloured Pencils’ is a leader in its field."

We look forward to Ann's presentation and will have details for her upcoming workshop as well.
