Graduating Portfolio

Work from My Time in Cornell's Botanical Illustration Program

In June 2023, I began my studies in Botanical Illustration through Cornell University’s School of Integrative Plant Sciences.

Final work from Botanical Illustration I (Graphite) and Botanical Illustration II (Watercolor).

In January 2024 I began the final phase of my journey of studying plants, gaining greater mastery in graphite, ink, and watercolor, and exposure to other mediums.

Work from Botanical Illustration III, in ink, graphite, watercolor, colored pencil, and alcohol marker.

The final class also introduced me to my favored medium: charcoal.

A lotus seed pod and a pair of maple tree seeds (samaras).

I completed my course of study in March 2024 with my capstone:

“Pisum sativum,” 18x12 inches, charcoal, sanguine, and chalk on toned paper.
