Yevonn Wilson-Ramsey, artist, scientific illustrator, and adjunct professor of art at St. Louis Community College, takes us behind the scenes in the world of scientific botanical illustration. We briefly survey the history of botanical art as well as current working techniques and works in progress. If time allows, we can talk about her current studio works, which are influenced by science and the environment. Wilson-Ramsey’s art is primarily on paper and in bronze. She teaches and shows her work locally.
