Botanical illustration

“I would like to address children through botanical art to show them that the beauty of our planet, more than ever, needs to be respected.”

When Françoise Verger took her diploma in botanical illustration with the Society of Botanical Artists (SBA) in 2014, she had to display the sketchbook in which she had drawn her preparatory works. She entitled it Big Bits and Small Pieces. In the introduction she wrote: “If things go well, I would like to address children through botanical art to show them that the beauty of our planet, more than ever, needs to be respected.”
