Jenny Halstead Author & Editor

Jenny Halstead studied Art and Design at the Sutton & Cheam School of Art followed by a Guest Scholarship at the Royal Academy Schools, London. She then trained and worked as a medical artist and natural history illustrator, but for the last decade has enjoyed the freedom of expressing herself across a much wider spectrum. She is well-known and widely admired, nationally and internationally for her draughtsmanship, her modelling of detail and her use of colour. She was artist in residence at the Harris Garden, Reading University, in 2012 and published 'An artist's year in the Harris Garden' with Two Rivers Press in 2013. She is a Fellow of the Medical Artists Association of GB and a Member of the Pastel Society UK.
