About the Artist

Mary Benstead began plant-hunting at an early age, and was drawing flowers by the age of three. She trained and worked as a Medical Artist, fitting in botanical work during weekends and holidays.

Now retired, she is concentrating on her own collection of illustrations of native British plants, and also on a collection of aroids, an added interest during the last thirty years.
