Botanicals

These prints bring together close studies of plant and marine forms, from richly colored flower portraits to detailed scientific drawings of simple sea creatures. Petals, stems, and cellular structures are rendered with the same careful attention, giving the set a precise, almost diagrammatic calm. The palette ranges from soft floral tones to stark black and white line work.
