plant family portraits

Watercolor
“This series was done for my field botany block. We spent the block learning how to I.D. Plants through specific characteristics and memorizing the Latin names associated with each. I thought it'd be nice to illustrate a few of my favorite families we talked about with a few different species pertaining to each on each page.”

woodblock print with ink
The piece was done with three separate small blocks of wood that I connected in the press. This project was done for a printmaking block at CC. The project was to use three separate woodblocks to show a progression of something happening. I thought it would interesting to depict a scene starting below ground that progresses through the stages of the forest floor; roots, mushrooms and the canopy.
