About Flora
(Married name Flora de Winton)
Born in 1978 in South west Scotland, Flora Blackett trained for 4 years at the prestigious Charles H Cecil studio in Florence, Italy.
As well as portraits, she is a renowned wildlife artist. Dividing her time between her studios in London and her native Dumfriessire she works on both commissions and her own inspired paintings and drawings. With trips throughout the UK, Europe, America and Africa, Flora continuously searches for exciting new subjects. She captures at first hand, the animals in their surroundings, studying their movement and natural compositions that they lend. She strives to depict both the immediacy and serenity in every scene, from the sporting field, to animals in their natural habitats.
Flora has had many highly acclaimed exhibitions thoughout the UK and America. Following the success of her London exhibition "A Brush with the Wild" she was asked to be the official artist for Holland and Holland.
In the show "Young and Old Masters of the sporting field" at James Harvey art, Langton street, London, she saw her work hang along side the masters to whom she has drawn much inspiration Sir Alfred Munnings and John Fernley to name but a few.
Her work hangs throughout the world. As well as the UK and Europe, her work can be seen in private collections throughout America, Africa, Hong Kong and China.
