Jessica Roux is a Nashville-based freelance illustrator, author, and gardener. She loves exploring in her own backyard and being surrounded by an abundance of nature. Using subdued colors and rhythmic shapes, she renders flora and fauna with intricate detail reminiscent of old world beauty. She is noted for her book Floriography: An Illustrated Guide to the Victorian Language of Flowers and her oracle deck, Woodland Wardens.
About this collection:
The Snails: A collection of six monochrome snail paintings. I love drawing and painting snails: the textured bodies, spiraling shells, and delightful faces bring me joy. But, as a gardener, they wreak havoc on my garden every year, creating a kind of chaotic love/hate relationship. I wanted to honor my garden visitors who love decimating my flowers with this collection.
