Ann Whiteside

Following a career spent in social work, Ann undertook the Diploma in Botanical Painting with the English Gardening School. During her working life Ann had had little time for painting, but this course brought together her interest in plants and painting. Ann is a Founder Member of the HCPFS and has exhibited at Florimania events and the Discovering Gardens Exhibition at the Clore centre, Hampton Court Palace. She took part in an HCPFS Group Exhibit at the RHS in 2009 which was awarded a Silver medal. Ann also enjoys print-making and has a special interest in wood-engraving.
