Nancy Tichborne (1942-) is a New Zealand watercolour artist, best-known for her illustrations of flowers.
Tichborne (née Keedwell) is the middle sister of culinary author Mary Browne and anthropologist Helen Leach. She was born in Levin and attended Otago Girls’ High School from 1956-60. She was awarded the McLeod Scholarship in Art, which gave her the opportunity to study at St Martin’s School of Art, London, in the early 1960s.
She returned to New Zealand in 1970 and collaborated with her sisters on a series of cookbooks, providing the watercolour artwork. Her art appears in solo books (displayed here) and in numerous calendars, diaries, cards, prints and postage stamps.
