Saturday and Sunday, October 24 & 25: Art at the Grange: "Botanical Watercolor: All Levels", Create a plant illustration in watercolor, but if you are a beginner: start with the basics about the media, supplies and how to use them, understanding value and color, mixing color, brush strokes and their uses, etc. Many demonstrations to address challenges of painting plants brought into workshop. For accomplished artists there is plenty of one-on-one time for individual instruction, and of course, time for fun! All levels are welcome! $140 through October 16th, $165 after. To sign up or for more information contact me at vorobik@gmail.com
Other events: In 2025 I was delighted to be commissioned to create a logo and letterhead for the 75th anniversary of the Jepson Herbarium. The images to the left are the left half of the letterhead, and the logo I created, all copyright UC Regents.
This year I was commissioned to create a similar letthead for the University Herbarium. Once it is finalized I will share it with you.
Another highlight for me was a show at the Mono Lake Committee Information Center and Store's gallery. I had always wanted to have a show there as it is at the east entrance to Yosemite in Lee Vining, CA. The show was a success, the staff incredible, and of course the store is chock full of books on Mono Lake and the easter Sierra Nevada, where I visit to hike and botanize every year. I hope they will have me back again.
It was a full year: I gave a workshop and sold my art at Botany 2026 in Tucson, and was commissioned to do a painting for the Regional Parks Botanic Garden!

I will host any botanical art or botany workshops at a location of your choice, if I have enough interest. For more information, email me at vorobik@gmail.com.
I have posted information for commissioned botanical illustrations. This would be of interest to botanists wishing to commission illustrations and to other illustrators interested in my fees or business procedure.
For teachers: I have posted a PDF for teachers to use, illustrating different types of inflorescences, or flowering stalks. And for those learning about botanical art, I have posted a botanical art annotated bibliography (first draft).
Here is a link to Scot Pipkin's 2023 interview with me. Scot my contact for when I offer botanical art workshops at the garden.
Happy exploring the wonderful world of plants & revelling in nature through art!
