Plants and natural history have always been a great interest to Alice since picking flowers for her Mother to paint as a six year old in South Africa. This interest led to a course in Botanical Painting at Plumpton College, in 1996, after some years as airline cabin crew and raising children.

Alice was elected as a full member of the Society of Botanical Artists in 2004.

In 1999 she was asked to take over the Botanical Painting Course at Plumpton College, where she taught small groups of intermediates and beginners.

Ken Scott is a highly-acclaimed, self-taught landscape photographer from Upper Beeding in Sussex with a growing national reputation in both photographic and outdoor circles.

He has a deep passion for the mountains and a fascination for the unmatched quality of mountain light, to which he responds in the moment to produce striking and soulful images, revealing both atmosphere and unique moments. Place is unimportant in Ken’s work; his philosophy involves camping in the wilderness, away from the artificiality of everyday life, immersing himself in the mountain experience: silence, space and light.

Ken is an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society. He published his first book “Photographing Changing Light” in 2004, and has produced several audio-visual presentations, including a 2000 collaboration with composer Michael Finnissy on “The History of Photography in Sound”.
