Botanical  Illustration for

Archival Illustration Project of
42 species of Indian Desert Plants. 


This is an archive of 42 desert plant species of India, whic
h was commissioned by environmentalist Pradip Krishen. Amidst the arid desert terrain of Rajasthan (India), a garden has been set up by the Meherangarh Fort Trust to raise awareness about the indigenous plants of the Thar Desert. I spent two years observing the garden and collecting plant samples to draw from. The project consisted of signage posts that were placed in the garden and a book with detailed descriptions of the plants by Pradip Krishen.
