A b o u t t he C over Art i s t
Gai Swanson is a graduate of Denver Botanic Gardens’ Botanical Art and Illustration Program. “Working as a
botanical artist lets me combine my curiosity about plant life with my love of art. In my research, I seek out the
unique characteristics of my subjects. My goal is to present botanical information in an artistic format that oth-
ers will enjoy.” For this particular illustration, Trifolium dasyphyllum, Gai studied the seed through a microscope
before drawing it in graphite on watercolor paper. She also works with colored pencils, pen and ink, watercolor,
gouache, acrylics and oils. Gai can be contacted at gis06@comcast.net.
