Digital Prints
This page includes botanical digital illustrations, prints on aluminum, paper, and vinyl of various sizes and shapes in private and public collections at corporations, universities, and healthcare centers in San Francisco, Orlando, Davis, Sacramento, and Stanford. I have also included ceiling proposals, where I rendered large-scale installations of my botanical works.
The botanical digital Illustrations on this page are available and can be printed any size up to 40 x 40 inches or larger on various substrates, including aluminum, photo paper, vinyl, acrylic, or wallpaper, or fabrics.
My hand-made and digital garden prints draw from my research on botanical gardens and medicinal botany, often featuring native California plants. Many of my compositions are inspired by direct observation of plants in botanical gardens, particularly Filoli Botanical Garden in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Endemic Healing and Vivid Garden Botanical series, 2020-2023
In both the Endemic Healing and Vivid Garden series, I included my digital illustrations of healing plants that I researched. Some of the botanical illustrations are printed on aluminum medallions of various sizes to evoke Persian decorative tiles found in traditional structures inside the historic botanical gardens in Shiraz, Iran (where my family originates). The Endemic Healing series features medicinal plants with healing properties that include treating stress, respiratory issues, sore throat, or fever; symptoms similar to those of COVID-19.
Research & Inspiration
The images feature myself alongside botanical manuscripts from the UCSF Library Special Collections, McGill University, MIT, and Marsh’s Library in Ireland.
The compositions are often inspired by plants observed in botanical gardens, particularly the Filoli Botanical Garden in the San Francisco Bay Area.
