BOTANICAL

Botanical illustration at the intersection of science and looking. These studies range from commissioned field work to personal observation, each plant drawn as if it might disappear.

Rockaway Field Guide

Commissioned botanical illustrations for the Rockaway Field Guide, a field study of native and invasive plant species found along the Rockaway Peninsula. Created in collaboration with the RISE initiative, 2023.
