‘The work of Jenny Matthews shows, just as Elizabeth Blackadder’s does, that painting flowers need not be merely botany; that in the right hands inspiration and poetry are completely compatible with precise observation and understanding of the distinctive characters of flowers and plants’. Duncan Macmillan, The Scotsman, 2016
