"Lingering Death" by Cynthia Wong
‍Stapelia gigantea
During her studies at the University of Toronto, Cynthia became fascinated with parasitic plants and other intriguing ‘rulebreakers’ of the plant world, while decoding the interplay between plant hormones that regulate seed germination in parasitic plants. Currently, she is a PhD candidate at the Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain, where she continues to nurture her interest in plants by studying the genetic mechanism(s) underlying plants’ drought response. Cynthia’s illustrations offer a holistic view on the beautiful relationship between art and science that nature displays, and she hopes to inspire us to look upon nature with curious eyes and caring hearts.

"Oleander Nerium" by Mirku (Mirka Walter)
‍Nerium oleander
Mirku is a self-taught illustrator and painter. The artist is living in the Rhine city of Cologne, Germany. It was here where mirku got first in touch with surrealism, as Max Ernst was born in Brühl, a small city close to Cologne. But what especially has been influencing mirku's work and worldview is the feminist surrealism by artists such as Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo. What mirku wants to capture is the beauty, banality and brutality of the everyday, the natural world as well as the human body in motion. The artist’s favorite materials are watercolor and ink.

"Vinca" by Emily Love
‍Vinca sp.
Emily Love is an artist who studies the natural world. She makes art to express her appreciation of nature and to form a deeper understanding of her subjects. She is interested in patterns in nature, especially cyclic and fractal structures. Her painting process involves recreating her subject in layers of increasing detail. Painting realistically allows her to slow down and study form and pattern. She is intrigued by the fact that nature is both predictable and random. Each species has its particular underlying patterns but no two individuals are the same. There is dueling mathematical logic and wild chaos.
