Meet your teacher...
Hey there 👋 I'm Sally Nixon
I'm a self-taught botanical artist with over 10 years of experience in watercolour painting.
Based in the Perth Hills, Western Australia, I’ve combined my love for art with a background in floristry to create detailed, vibrant botanical artwork.
What began with acrylics as a child evolved into a lifelong passion for watercolour after I discovered it in high school, and I haven’t looked back since!
I’m excited to share my journey and help you discover the beauty and joy of botanical art through this course.
