The Art of Plant Care
January 2024-May 2024
6" x 8"; 62 pages; 30 printed copies
Graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, I was tasked with creating an exhibition for a senior show at UW-Eau Claire's Foster Gallery, titled Turning the Page. My exhibit was a fully researched, designed, and illustrated plant care book with 25 plants. Each plant was given a two-page spread, detailing the different care tips and illustrations of the different leaves.

The Exhibition
The plant care book was displayed as part of a whole exhibition, set up in the Foster Gallery. I created an environment that the book could be placed in, as if being picked up and read in real life. The exhibition included roughly 15 plants from my personal collection, as well as a thrifted comfy chair, and handmade table and bookstand. In addition to the book, I also took the illustrations and created bookmarks and stickers for the viewers to take home with them.
