Julie Allecta is a retired securities attorney who began studying art and botanical illustration with Mary L. Harden at the San Francisco Botanical Garden in 2010.  The native and naturalized plants of Northern California are her primary focus.  She enjoys the increased understanding of local plants that comes from the study and illustration process. In her art she tries to not only capture the technical details of her specimens, but also reflect the character of the individual plant in its environment.  She works in graphite, pen & ink, and watercolor.

Julie has a Master Artist certificate and is a continuing student in the Mary L. Harden School of Botanical Illustration.  She is also a member of the Board of Directors of the Northern California Chapter of the American Society of Botanical Artists.
