Inspired by the spectacular flora of British Columbia,
Caren Heine began showing as a professional artist at the age of fourteen.

In 1979, only six years after that first gallery exhibition, the Federation of Canadian Artists elected her to the status of A.F.C.A. Her passion for flowers and watercolour have made her one of the most esteemed botanical artists in Canada. For the past three decades, Caren has been enthusiastically received in solo and group shows across North America, and with the Royal Society of Painters in Miniature in London, England. She has also exhibited in touring shows throughout Canada, the United States and Europe; sponsored by the Government of British Columbia, The University of British Columbia, the Federation of Canadian Artists, and the Canadian Nature Federation.

A love of detail and interior design has led Caren to apply her considerable talent to areas other than two-dimensional artwork. She is an experienced muralist and illustrator, whose winning design for the Canadian Mint was produced as a gold collector coin.

Caren is much sought-after as a teacher for classes and workshops, and the annual educational painting tours she has hosted with her internationally renowned father and brother for the past decade.
