Botanical Artist Florence Gendre

“My grandmother really instilled in me this way of looking…it’s about going in-depth, not looking superficially at artwork, at a plant.”

Botanical Illustrator Florence Gendre is an observer, an interpreter, and an admirer of nature and plants. Her watercolor interpretations of the natural world speak to her ability to see things that others can’t.

🍊 I do hope or aspire to be a botanical artist in the future too! When it comes to realism, I prefer to draw & paint plants rather than people 😅 Thank you for being an inspiration Madame Florence Gendre 🧡
