Summary: Laura C. Martin is the author of 26 books that span a 40 year career. She paints and writes from Atlanta, Georgia where she's lived throughout her life. Gardening and art was cultivated in her from a young age with parents who enjoyed both and over the years she adapted writing her books to also illustrating them, too. Her latest is A Naturalist's Book of Wildflowers, which she illustrated herself. In it are beautiful paintings of the specimens she chose to highlight as well as wonderfully detailed information about each plant species from their range, wildlife partners, and their cultural history and botanical uses. I think you'll love our conversation and want to add her book to your field guide collection.
