The botanical illustrations of Australian-born Margaret Stones (1920—2018), who is one of the world’s most celebrated botanical artists, are a seamless combination of art and science. The artist’s drawings document Louisiana’s plants and flowers with accurate scientific detail while also artistically and uniquely capturing the flora’s intricate beauty.
