The Mary L. Harden School of Botanical Illustration
Botanical Artist
Isabel’s earliest memories are of admiring flowers (buttercups, specifically) and she continues to be enamored with plants of all kinds. As a nonprofit entrepreneur with a plant focus, she served as the founding President of Friends of the Urban Forest in San Francisco; founder of California ReLeaf; co-founder the National AIDS Memorial Grove in Golden Gate Park, and founder and Executive Director of Neighborhood Parks Council. Recently, she launched a lemon tree-planting project in San Francisco with a goal of planting 12,000 lemons to achieve sustainability in this crop and to help illustrate the opportunity for any city to grow food.
Isabel’s education in botanical illustration began in 2010 with her first class with Mary Harden. She has earned her Master’s Certificate in the Mary L. Harden School of Botanical Illustration.
