Kathy Schermer-Gramm, the botanical illustrator, is an obsessive observer of plant life, a visual documenter of that which grows from the soil, dwelling on identifying species and describing it with imagery. Kathy’s interpretations expand upon this. She does not look for the classical plant portrait based on Carl Linnaeus’s system of taxonomy where the focus is on the reproductive cycle. Still the documentarian, staying true to her subject, she searches out random remnants of life found on her daily woodland walks. The artist finds fascination in the smallest of details, the wonders of natural architecture created with plant materials, and the effects of seasonal changes in the environment. This is the botanically inclusive artist who uses the fine point of a pencil or brush to render those minute details and textures through a slow meditative process.

 

Kathy Schermer-Gramm is a Society of Botanical Artists Fellow who was raised in Southern California earning her master’s degree in illustration from California State University, Fullerton. Her career includes that of book and magazine illustrator, nature educator, and college art professor. She has been a core instructor in the North Carolina Botanical Garden Botanical Art Program (UNC) for over twelve years, where her teaching expanded to include online courses with students from around the globe. Her botanical art, focusing on Southeastern flora and edibles, has been juried annually into the American Society of Botanical Artists, Guild of Natural Science Illustrators, Society of Botanical Artists, and Birds in Art international exhibitions.
