Interested in botany from her youth, she studied at the Thanet Art School and attended drawing classes at the Chelsea Polytechnic.[5][6] CareerIn 1929, she began work as a botanical illustrator and taxonomist at Kew Gardens[5] and was a contributor to Curtis's Botanical Magazine and Icones Plantarum of William Jackson Hooker.[8] Her work drew the attention of Sir Edward Sailsbury, the director of Kew, who brought her to a publisher. Drawings of British PlantsThe first in Ross-Craig's series Drawings of British Plants was published in 1948.[5] The series was issued as a set of inexpensive paperbacks retailing initially for 6 shillings,[6] a departure from similar books for professionals and wealthy amateurs. The series eventually grew to 31 parts, taking until 1973 to complete and containing over 1300 lithographic plates.[7] The series contained all the British flowering plants except for the grasses and sedges.[8] She often drew from preserved dried specimens kept at Kew, and she worked in black and white.[9][10] Honours and awardsIn 1999 Ross-Craig became only the sixth person to receive the Kew International Medal. In 2003, 55 of her originals were exhibited at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, when she was aged 95.[15] The works were subsequently exhibited at the Kew Gardens Gallery the next year.[11] Ross-Craig was a Fellow of the Linnean Society from 1948 to 1974.[9] She was awarded the Royal Horticultural Society's Gold Veitch Memorial Medal in 2002.[7] {{Botanist|Ross-Craig|Ross-Craig|border=0}}Personal lifeShe was married to the botanist, her colleague Joseph Robert Sealy, whom she first met at Chelsea Polytechnic.[12] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.kew.org/about-our-organisation/press-media/press-releases/ethiopia%E2%80%99s-prof-sebsebe-demissew-awarded|title=Ethiopia’s Prof. Sebsebe Demissew awarded prestigious Kew International Medal - Kew|website=kew.org}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Ross-Craig, Stella}}2. ^{{cite book | last1 = Stearn | first1 = William Thomas | authorlink1 = William T.
