FROM THE INTERNET: "Fay was born in Lahore, northern India (now Pakistan). Until the age of 15 she was schooled in India, when she was sent to boarding school in England. Her mother was artistic and her stepfather, a scientist and keen gardener, encouraged her to draw flowers. In 1951 her family came to South Africa en route to Australia and decided to settle in Cape Town. She attended the Michaelis School of Fine Art, where she received a Diploma in Fine Art. She started her illustrious career as a botanical artist as a research assistant to Professor Edwyn Isaac in the Department of Botany at the University of Cape Town, for whom she mainly did drawings and painted seaweeds. She went overseas for a year and became engaged to Richard Geary-Cooke who was in the Navy. In 1961 she married Richard in Malaya. He was released from the Navy the following year and they settled in Kenilworth, Cape Town. Fay has always worked as a freelance artist. Her beautiful paintings have been exhibited around the world and form part of important corporate collections including the Hunt Institute of Botanical Documentation, Pittsburg, USA; The Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, London; Missouri Botanical Gardens, St Louis, USA; South African National Biodiversity Institute in Pretoria and Cape Town as well as the Shirley Sherwood Collection at Kew Gardens."
