Plants from the Woods and Forests of Chile

All the illustrations in this gallery were prepared for the book Plants from the Woods and Forests of Chile between 2007 and 2015. During these years, I took part in this remarkable project, travelling between Chile, Scotland and Turkey, reaching the locations where the plants grew, observing them, tracking their flowering times, waiting for their fruits to ripen, and bringing all of my skills to bear in painting these magnificent specimens. The book Plants from the Woods and Forests of Chile was published in 2015. This single volume of high-quality botanical art depicts the rich diversity and beauty of Chile's unique forested areas, where for the past 25 years the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh has engaged in research and conservation initiatives. During this project, the illustrations were exhibited at various venues in Scotland, England and Chile, and some were awarded a Gold Medal and Best in Show at the RHS London Show in 2010 and 2014, as well as at BISCOT, Edinburgh in 2011 and 2013. All the illustrations are held in the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh's permanent collection. © Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh
