Wild Remedies
Botanical Illustration for Herbal Medicine Publishing
Hand-painted botanical illustrations created for Wild Remedies, a nonfiction book by Hay House Publishing, focused on medicinal plants and herbal foraging traditions. The artwork was developed to support educational storytelling through detailed observation, botanical accuracy, and approachable visual language.
Project Highlights
Plant Identification Illustrations
Detailed watercolor illustrations created to depict key identifying characteristics of wild plants, including leaf structure, flowers, and growth patterns.
Botanical Plant Studies
Clear observational studies designed to support plant recognition and learning for readers interested in herbal medicine and wild food foraging.
Illustrations for Educational Publishing
The artwork was developed to work within the book’s educational format, helping explain botanical subjects in a way that is both informative and visually engaging.
Illustration Approach
Each illustration began with botanical research and observational sketching to accurately capture the structure and identifying characteristics of the plant. The final watercolor artwork was developed to support both visual engagement and educational clarity throughout the publication.
The project focused on balancing botanical detail with a natural, approachable aesthetic that complements the tone of the book.
