Botanical Artist

In 2024, Daleen received an RHS Gold Medal as well as Best Artwork on Show and People’s Choice Award in London for her exhibition on indigenous orchids and pollinator interactions. She also received the Best on Show award at ASBA’s 27th Annual International Exhibition at the Society of Illustrators, in New York.

As a self-taught artist, Daleen’s botanical art journey has developed organically, from starting in 2008 doing scientific illustrations for the University of Pretoria, to creating more traditional botanical art, with her main focus on indigenous orchid species. Her meticulous eye for detail and a scientific understanding of her subject matter underpins her accurate depictions, yet transports her work to becoming a lyrical portrayal of her experience and interaction with the plants she sources in nature. She currently resides in Hillcrest, Kwazulu-Natal.
