Publishing Illustration
I create botanical, food, and nature-inspired illustrations for nonfiction books, educational publishing, and editorial projects. My work combines careful observation with hand-painted watercolor techniques, producing artwork that is both visually engaging and informative.
Publishers commission my illustrations to help readers connect with botanical and culinary subjects - from medicinal plants and herbs to gardening and food illustrations for cookbooks.

Types of Publishing Illustration
Detailed botanical watercolor illustrations for herbal, gardening, and nature-focused books. My work often includes plant identification artwork created in collaboration with herbalists and wild food foragers.
Botanical Illustration for Nonfiction
Clear, observational illustrations that help readers recognize plants, ingredients, and botanical structures - designed to support learning in field guides and nonfiction publishing.
Educational & Reference Illustration
Chapter Illustrations & Editorial
Atmospheric botanical and nature-inspired illustrations that introduce chapters, support storytelling, and bring visual cohesion to nonfiction books.
Process
I work with publishers and editors as an illustrator for books, creating botanical artwork that supports educational and narrative content.
Every project begins with botanical research and observational sketching. I study the plant’s structure, textures, and natural movement before translating it into a finished watercolor illustration.
The goal is always the same: to create artwork that is accurate, expressive, and ready for print production.
