Deirdre is an internationally recognized botanical artist living and working in Sydney. She is a regular exhibitor at Botanica at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney, and has exhibited at many other contemporary botanical art exhibitions in Sydney, Kurrajong Heights, and Moss Vale in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales. She has exhibited in London and the United States.

Deirdre paints in watercolour on paper and vellum. The paintings take many hours of deliberate and painstaking brushstrokes always with the subject in view. On rare occasions a photograph may be used as a reference if the specimen she is working on has expired. Working this way, Deirdre achieves a three dimensional effect portraying the subject as close as possible to nature and always botanically correct. All work is the actual size of the subject and closely colour matched.
