About the speaker:
Linda Hamilton is a paper artist living in Almonte Ontario, Canada. She creates realistic botanical models of plants and flowers using a variety of different papers, glue, wire, and paint.
In this webinar:
Over the years, Linda has created many pieces for use as identification tools including native and non-native wildflowers, grasses, and aquatic plants. In 2024, she created five large display boxes featuring submerged aquatic plants for Benzie Conservation District. These are being used to illustrate the differences between native and invasive species in our waters.
In this talk, Linda will discuss her process of researching, designing, and creating accurate plant models. She will share examples of past and current projects, and she’ll talk about the materials and tools she uses in her studio. Linda will also be available to answer any questions you may have about making and using three-dimensional models as teaching tools.
