— from Jan Jacobson —

Linda Ann Vorobik of Lopez Island, a PhD botanist and botanical artist, has spent her career traveling throughout the west, botanizing and translating her joy and understanding of the natural world into botanical art. She considers herself close to all the west coast states. Linda has illustrated over 1/3 of California’s fauna. She does field studies and field research in the Siskiyou mountains of Oregon; her PhD in botany is from the University of Oregon.

Linda is a Research Associate at the University Herbarium at the University of CA Berkley and at the Herbarium at the University of Washington.

Join her for an illustrated talk at Orcas Island Garden Club on the science of botanical art with photographs of beautiful places and plants from her travels.  Linda sells her artwork in the form of originals, prints and cards and some of these will be for sale before and after the presentation on Wednesday, November 18, 2015, 10 a.m., Madrona Room of Orcas Center.
