Botanical Art

I have a large portfolio of black and white plant depictions - my botanical art career began at the University of Hong Kong, but now my skills are predominantly commissioned by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The drawings or plates are used for plant accounts in peer reviewed botanical journals and books. The majority of the original plates I have produced can be found in the Kew illustration archives.


My largest commission to date was a book titled 'New Trees' which was published in 2009 by the International Dendrology Society and included 110 of my illustrations, some of which are featured below.
