作者簡介

Katie Scott於2011年畢業於布萊頓大學。她的作品吸引了來自傳統醫學和植物學插圖家的關注，無論是在審美和題材。她的插圖描繪了植物、人類和礦物的熟悉而又虛幻的景象.

Illustrator: Katie Scott graduated from University of Brighton in 2011. Her work draws influences from traditional medical and botanical illustration, both in aesthetic and subject matter. Her work plays with the ideas of scientific uncertainty and speculation, fabricating the inner and outer workings of the world. Her illustrations depict a familiar yet fantasy vision of plants, humans and minerals.
