Lila Streether

I have been painting for as long as I can remember, as my mother is an artist and there were always paintings around the house as I was growing up!

After working full-time as a Civil Servant for twenty years, I then worked part-time for the Bath Chronicle which freed up some time for me to spend more time doing Art and Crafts, notably Embroidery, Stained Glass, Mosaics and Pastel Painting. My main interest of Flower Painting took over and steered me to take a Botanical Painting course, the outcome of which I became one of the founder members of the Bath Society of Botanical Artists.

I have exhibited in the South West of England and in Ireland. My paintings have found their ways to many different countries including the USA and Australia.

Although I specialise in painting flowers in water colour, I also paint landscapes and other subjects in water colour, acrylic and mixed media.
