Botanical artist and illustrator Lara Call Gastinger features elements of the Virginia ecosystem that show signs of change or decay. She “finds great inspiration in a carrot that has gone to flower, a broken seed pod, twisted roots or insect damage to a leaf. She strives to make a plant portrait in such a way that it reveals its character and uniqueness.” Her art focuses on nature’s minute, overlooked details that inspire.
