Drawings of desert plants and cacti by Katherine Tyrrell

The drawings in this gallery (see below) are about what desert plants - and in particular cacti and succulents - look like in 'close-up'.

The drawings grew out of a project to study the work and approaches employed by Georgia O'Keefe which you can read about here coupled with a visit to the deserts of the southwestern states of the USA (California, Arizona and New Mexico) in 2006
(see USA Sketchbook - Southwestern States)

Three of these works (see left) were selected for and exhibited at the Society of Botanical Artists Annual Exhibition 2011 (Central Hall, Westminster).  










Seven of these works (see above) were exhibited at the Mission Trails Art Gallery in San Diego, California in November 2010.
