Marianne North was not ready to settle down. So she packed her paints and set off for North America. At age forty-one, she found herself alone and uninterested in the domestic trappings of Victorian life.
Taking a different approach than the botanical artists of the time, which favored solitary plants and soft water colors, North often painted entire landscapes using bold, hearty oil paints.
