Denver Botanic Gardens has a long tradition in Botanical Art and Illustration. The discipline was first taught in the
early 1980’s and the certificate program was established in 1990. Today, the program offers a comprehensive
education in the scientific illustration of plants and fungi and the professional instructors continue the strong
tradition. Nearly 100 courses are offered each year to students at all levels of art experience. The curriculum
can lead to a Certificate in Botanical Art and Illustration, a recognition that is obtainable at only a few
locations worldwide. For more information about the program, please visit the Botanical Illustration’s blog at
www.botanicalillustration.blogspot.com.

Ab o u t t he C over Art i s t
Estelle DeRidder is a 2010 graduate of the
Denver Botanic Gardens’ Botanical Art and
Illustration Program. “I have gleaned a-
thousand-fold and truly enjoy the structured
environment required for illustrating botanicals.
Within this discipline there are many artistic
challenges in order to remain within its charac-
teristic dignified genre”.

For the illustration of the Globularia punctata,

Estelle chose to study and draw the seed under
the guidance provided during the 2009
“Seeds and their Pods” class offered by the
Botanical Illustration program. The flowering
plant was obtained from a local nursery. The
original piece was executed on acid free
art paper in colored pencils and graphite.
