A lifelong love of drawing and painting combined with a keen interest in natural science led Gerry Jenkison to botanical illustration, which she studied with Celia Godkin, Pamela Stagg, and Robin Jess. Her work has been included in a number of juried shows in recent years in both Toronto and Price Edward County. Her particular interests are wildflowers, fruit and vegetables, and seeds.
