life and work

Trechslin studied painting in Paris and at the Bern School of Applied Arts, then in Italy and England . She gained international recognition with her bird and flower watercolors . Her watercolors are true-to-life reproductions of the plants and also harmonious and figurative representations. She became known in particular through the illustration of numerous art and specialist books on the subject of flowers, as an expert in the illustration of roses and camellias. She had solo exhibitions of her works in Basel , Bern , Paris, Rome , Florence , Perugia and Malta .

During the 1963 International Rose Congress, she was presented with the Nashville , Tennessee City Key as an honorary gift. In 1968 a rose was dedicated to her by the rose breeder Jean-Marie Meilland. In 1987 Trechslin received the Paul Haupt Prize for her book illustrations.

A series of stamps based on watercolors by Anne Marie Trechslin's flower, fruit and bird motifs were issued by San Marino and Switzerland . For the "Year of the Rose 2002", Pro Juventute has issued another series of charity stamps based on Trechslin's templates, which depicts the rose varieties Christrose, Ingrid Bergman, Charmian, Belle Vaudoise and Spring Gold. When rubbed with your finger, these stamps give off a rose scent and the Christmas rose smells like firs, cinnamon and cloves. Trechslin was awarded the “Cavallino d'Oro” prize for the stamps in Venice .

The artist also worked for the Botanical Library in Pittsburgh and the Musée d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris.
