ArtPlantae was created by Tania Marien. Tania has an Interdisciplinary Studies masters degree (Biology & Student Learning) and a bachelors degree in Biology. She taught biology as an adjunct faculty member for five years at three California colleges. A long-time admirer of botanical art, Tania began studying botanical art in 2001.

Tania's interest in student learning was established in graduate school when she took on the task of improving the D & F rate of a large-lecture general biology class for majors. Today she channels the curiosity and the energy she has for student learning into independent research dedicated to increasing botanical literacy through illustration.

Tania is an active member of the Botanical Artists Guild of Southern California and served on the Executive Committee from 2001 through 2008. She is also a member of the American Society of Botanical Artists and the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators.

The media Tania enjoys learning about most are graphite, pen and ink, carbon dust, colored pencil, and gouache. She has a silverpoint set and is now looking for a class to learn how to use it.
