Herbal Gut Health
Botanical & Food Illustration for Wellness Publishing
Hand-painted botanical and food illustrations created for Herbal Gut Health, a nonfiction wellness book by Storey Publishing (Hachette Book Group) exploring the relationship between plants, nutrition, and digestive health.
The artwork combines observational botanical illustration with approachable editorial storytelling to visually support the educational content throughout the publication.
Project Highlights
Cover Illustration
Hand-painted botanical illustration featured on the cover - watercolor artwork focused on medicinal herbs.
Chapter Openers
Illustrations designed to introduce each chapter and enhance visual storytelling. Ingredient-focused compositions supporting reader engagement
Ingredient Charts
Educational food illustrations to support learning and clarity for readers.
Illustration Approach
The illustrations were developed through a combination of ingredient research, observational sketching, and watercolor painting. Each composition was designed to communicate the natural qualities and medicinal associations of foods and herbs featured throughout the book.
Special attention was given to clarity, composition, and how the artwork would function within the editorial layout of the publication.
Let’s Work Together
I collaborate with publishers and creative teams to develop botanical visuals for books, editorial, and educational storytelling.
