Botanical Illustration:

I got into botanical illustration out of necessity. I needed to describe some new plant species for my doctoral work, yet did not have the money to pay a professional artist to illustrate the species. Please contact me if you have an interest in the practice of scientific illustration.
Above: Plowmanianthus, a new genus of Commelinaceae from the Neotropics.
