We are very sorry to disappoint, but do hope artists from beyond East Anglia find a similar group in their region.

IN MEMORIAM - TINA BONE 1950 – 2026

Iceni Botanical Artists were deeply saddened by the news of Tina’s passing at the beginning of 2026.  She had been our Chair since Nov. 2021 and worked tirelessly on running the group in her quiet, kindly, well organised way.  Amongst her many talents,  she skillfully managed a three year project and expertly designed, edited and published their book “Fullers Mill Garden – A Jewel in the Forest”.

She married young at 17 and had three children. She had painted as a hobby from childhood, and encouraged at school, she worked hard at developing her extraordinary artistic talent by self education and acquiring qualifications along the way,  and she  became a professional artist in 2005

She had a notable long list of art publications, including the”River Friend Series”  and exhibited widely,  frequently in the Cambridge area,  winning many awards.  She specialised in three areas of interest, Natural History, Botanical Illustration and Illuminated Lettering in gold leaf.

She also found time to write poetry, and enjoyed sporting and musical activities, and we all admired and wondered just how she found time to fit them all in.

Through the legacy of her paintings, we are all able to see the world through her eyes, as a most beautiful place to be treasured.
