Lil Tudor-Craig

She is known for her murals and watercolour paintings, specialising in finely detailed impressionist work, presenting a wide-ranging knowledge of wild botanical species and the insects and birds they support through the cycle of life.

[2] In addition to her fine art and conservation interests, Tudor-Craig served as illustrator of The Flora: An Anthology of Poetry and Prose, along with compiler, Fiona MacMath.

[1][2] In 1981, Tudor-Craig was taught briefly by Cecil Collins, who encouraged her to foster her talent and consider pursuing a career in fine art, specifically, painting, drawing, and printmaking, using her background and expertise in environmental, botanical, and wildlife studies.

In 1990, she gained the Advanced National Certificate in Wildlife Conservation, specialising in biological surveying and for three years, taught wild plant identification.

While Tudor-Craig held one-person exhibitions in Aldeburgh in 1986, along with Aldgate and London the following year, it wasn't until 2000, that she began to work exclusively on her paintings.

While this process can take up to four months to complete, the technique allows for intense colours and finely detailed work, enhancing the artist's impressionistic style.

Outside of occasional commissions for murals and watercolour paintings, her work focuses on presenting native species of wild plants and the creatures they support.
