Sandie Burrows is a prize-winning botanical artist and illustrator. She has published many thousands of drawings to illustrate the books published by herself and her husband John. She is also a botanist with a particular interest in Asparagaceae of which she has discovered several species new to science.
She is currently also working on a book about drift seeds, a subject of great popular appeal, and, incidentally, of historical importance in the theory of evolution, Darwin having taken a great interest in it.
