I paint plants and though my paintings share some affinities with botanical illustrations and drawings of natural history, they are not useful for real botanical purposes. In fact, I worry that my paintings will annoy true plant people because I have taken liberties with them. While some plants are faithful renditions of a particular specimen, others have been altered. And even though the paintings appear quite organized, completely unrelated plants, plant parts and seeds have been housed together in random groupings that contradict their apparent orderliness….
