Lynne Railsback, Botanical Artist

Lynne  began painting botanical watercolors after retirement in 1997. Most of  her initial pieces were of dried plants found near her home in  Wisconsin. Since wintering in Florida, she expanded her palette to  include more colorful images. She also began to focus on painting native  species. Her expectation is that her images are used as tools to  educate people about the importance of using native plant in their  landscapes. Of course, the native specimens she paints are incorporated  into her gardens in Wisconsin and Florida. Her goal is to create a  better habitat for birds, pollinators, and people.
