Fine Art Printmaking
​

In the past, fine art printmaking methods - such as engraving - were used to produce a lot of the botanical illustrations that we see today. Printmaking is less used today but there are still individuals who excel in this approach to making art.

This section will develop a listing of outstanding contemporary botanical printmakers - and those practising in recent times.

Botanical Etching
​

Monika deVries Gohlke 
Lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. A painter and printmaker working  primarily with botanical subjects - she sometimes hand colours her etchings and also  Has exhibited very widely and at prestigious venues and has work in private and public collections - including that of Shirley Sherwood. Her fine art prints are exhibited in various exhibitions of the ASBA where they have won a number of awards and at the Shirley Sherwood Gallery at Kew Gardens. Fellow of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden Florilegium, NY
For over 20 years now I’ve explored the various etching techniques to express my concepts of botanical art: drawing, scratching, scraping and burnishing my plates, aquatinting and spit-biting them, oftentimes hand-coloring the finished print.
Monika deVries Gohlke 
Michael Landy RA (b. 1963)
Michael Landy is primarily known as a conceptual artist, a Young British Artist and a member of the Royal Academy of Arts where he was appointed the Eranda Professor of Drawing at the Royal Academy Schools in 2014. Yet he has produced a very fine portfolio of 10 botanical etchings known as Nourishment. The etchings are all meticulous, life-sized studies of individual weeds the artist found growing in the street. They were published by Paragon Press in an edition of thirty-seven plus six artist’s proofs. The Tate owns number nine in the series (available to view by appointment - which I have done).  The Victoria and Albert Museum has Creeping Buttercup in its collection
  • 'Champion of the urban weed' by Louisa Buck | The Art Newspaper, December 2002
  • 'Hello Weed' by Heidi Reitmayer | Tate: International Arts and Culture, No.3, January/February 2003, pp.60-8
  • An artist after Break Down’ by Julian Stallabrass | Evening Standard, 17 December 2002
  • Inventory Update- Michael Landy Nourishment Portfolio | Julian Page
For the past two years, Landy has been botanising in little urban margins, looking for their earliest colonising flora as well as the longer standing floral residents. Collecting weeds from urban brownfields, from cracks in pavements and the corners and verges of car parks, he has kept them fed and watered and has spent hours drawing each one, first on paper then on copper plates. The result is a series of etchings – little florilegiums, not exactly garlands – that seem to refer back to artists of the Renaissance, such as Albrecht  Dürer, as well as to botanical illustrators of more recent centuries. 
​'Hello Weed' by Heidi Reitmayer
​Bryan Poole
Bryan Poole is a New Zealand born botanical and natural history artist now living in London who produces Contemporary Botanical Aquatint Etchings. ​He is a member of the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers and has regularly exhibited at the Chelsea Flower Show. ​His work has been included in exhibitions of botanical art at the Shirley Sherwood Gallery at Kew and elsewhere. ​​
"Bryan Poole ...has the gift to be able to combine traditional methods of illustration and reproduction with a very modern approach to botanical art and design..." Dr Christopher Grey-Wilson

Botanical Linoprinting
​

Henry Evans 
began making his botanical prints - using linoprinting - in 1958 and during his career he drew more than 1400 subjects.
Reference:
  • The McCune Collection: Henry Evans (1918-1990)

Sculpture
​

David Watkinson
Produces kinetic sculpture involving natural and organic forms. ​He graduated from Leeds Metropolitan University in 1994 and has since worked as a sculptor. His work is in a number of prestigious collections and RHS Gardens.

Below are three photos of leaf sculptures in the Winter Garden at RHS Hyde Hall and a video of a kinetic wind sculpture at Hyde Hall.
I take my inspiration from the natural world, and in my sculpture I endeavour to point to the relationship between physics and the physical.

This wind sculpture - at RHS Hyde Hall Garden in Essex - allows two large sycamore seed pods to move kinetically influenced only by the speed and direction of the wind - and the precision ball bearings and precise and delicate weighting used by sculptor David Watkinson to enable it to be set in motion by the slightest breeze.

Within my system the plant is excavated, arranged in the studio, photographed, then illustrated digitally in such a way as to render the edible parts in color while the remaining parts, less emphatically, read as photograms.

Digital Botanical Illustration
​

Digital Photography and composite illustrations

Niki Simpson
If you've never seen digital botanical illustration before take a look at Visual Botany -  Niki Simpson's website. It's amazing. The work involved in creating individual images is very significant.
  • Her work focuses on flora which is native and naturalised in the UK or flora which is found in gardens in the UK
  • In 2007, she published Digital diversity : a new approach to botanical illustration - you can view a digital copy on Issuu
  • In 2018, she received the Jill Smythies Award - for outstanding botanical illustrations in publications. (see Niki Simpson and Juliet Williamson win Jill Smythies Award 2018 | BA&A News)

  • complete listing of all publications
“Niki Simpson is a true pioneer in the field of digital botanical art. Her emphasis is on accuracy and detail, illustrating diagnostic and taxonomic characteristics, creating beautiful ‘image vouchers’ which convey a scientifi c visual description of the plant concerned, while retaining the approach of traditional botanical art, in terms of composition and style. In order to include the features shown by the plant throughout the year, each illustration can take many weeks or months to create. These composite images use a range of media: mainly digital 38 photographs, but may also include scanning electron micrographs of pollen grains, fl atbed scans, computer drawings and scanned handdrawn work or photographic transparencies. The images have been developed primarily for onscreen use—where magnification or zoom tools can be used to reveal and explore microcharacters that would otherwise remain hidden, and for future interactive viewing. Much of the creative process is just the same as working traditionally (working in collaboration with botanists), it is just the tool that has changed. For Niki, the future of botanical illustration lies in exploring the potential of the dynamic digital workspace, exploring how technology can be used to create new descriptive data. Each image portrays a particular plant, but each illustration also tells a story—a botanical narrative of growth and reproduction. Niki’s is an exquisite approach, truly deserving of the Jill Smythies Award 2018.”
The Linnean Volume 34 (2 October 2018)

Macoto Murayama
a Japanese artist who cultivates ‘inorganic flora’.
b. Kanagawa (1984). Studied Spatial Design at Miyagi University followed by research at the Institute of Advanced Media Art and Sciences in Ogaki. The stages of creating his images are:
  1. chooses the plant and finds the real flower
  2. dissects the flower cutting the petal and ovary with scalpel and observes it with magnifying glass.
  3. makes sketches and photographs the parts of dissected flower.
  4. models its form and structure using 3ds Max (3DCG software).
  5. renders separate parts and creates a composition using Adobe Photoshop.
  6. imposes admeasurements, parts names, scale, scientific name etc.
  7. prints out image of the plant on a large scale printer and frames it.
