Herbal Gut Health
Botanical & Food Illustration for Nonfiction Publishing
I created botanical and food illustrations for Herbal Gut Health, bringing plants, herbs, and cooking ingredients to life for educational publishing. Each illustration was hand-painted in watercolor and carefully researched to ensure accuracy, clarity, and visual appeal.

Process
Every illustration begins with research and observation. I study the plant’s structure, color, and movement before creating sketches and refining them into detailed watercolor paintings. From initial studies to final production-ready artwork, my process balances accuracy with artistic expression.
I often work closely with authors, herbalists, and subject experts to ensure botanical accuracy. The final artwork is carefully prepared for print and publishing, delivering high-resolution illustrations ready for book production.
