FLORA BLACKETT

Trained at the prestigious Charles H. Cecil Studios in Florence, Flora is an established and highly successful wildlife painter. Flora's skill lies in capturing at first hand animals and their surroundings, studying their movement and mannerisms to create an intimate portrait. Her work is graceful and delicate yet powerful and highly individual as she strives to depict both the immediacy and serenity in every scene, from the sporting field to animals in their natural habitat.

Flora was brought up in Dumfriesshire and divides her time between studios there and in London. She regularly takes part in exhibitions and art fairs around the country to great acclaim, notably The Animal Art Fair at Fulham Palace and Art for Youth at the Mall Galleries, London, as well as the Chisholm Gallery in New York State. In 2008 Flora was invited to be Artist in Residence at the Royal Highland Show and in 2009 took part in the exhibition 'Young and Old Masters of the Sporting Field' at James Harvey Fine Art, London which saw her work hang alongside the masters from whom she has drawn much inspiration, including Alfred Munnings and JJohn Ferneley. Following the success of her 2008 exhibition 'A Brush with the Wild' Flora was asked to become the official artist for Holland and Holland.

In addition to her sporting art Flora is also a successful portrait painter and has undertaken many commissions including H.R.H. Princess Michael of Kent and Major General Andrew Graham (unveiled by Her Majesty the Queen at Stirling Castle). Please get in touch if you would like to discuss either portrait or sporting commissions.

Flora has recently launched 'Flora Blackett Designs', a selection of table mats, coasters, aprons, oven gloves and other homeware featuring her original artwork. Orders may be taken for any of these beautiful and high quality items.
