John Muir is a well-known naturalist who had a passion for plants and who recorded this passion in his journals. However Muir was not the only naturalist to document the flora of California. Did you know an equally passionate East coast artist documented desert wildflowers of the Coachella Valley? This artist’s drawings, paintings and prints of California desert plants earned him acclaim not only locally, but also at a respected institution whose specialty is the history of botany.
You’re invited to learn more about this artist and resident of Twentynine Palms.
