The Things That Grow collection explores the beauty of nature through detailed, hand-drawn illustrations of woodland flora and flowering plants. Featuring mushrooms, pine cones, wildflowers, and delicate botanicals alongside insects, butterflies, and moths, this body of work blends organic forms with layered texture and color. Rooted in traditional pencil drawing and enhanced digitally, these illustrations evoke curiosity, growth, and the quiet magic of the natural world—well suited for licensing, editorial projects, packaging, and nature-inspired branding.
