Holden Arboretum
At the Holden Arboretum, cultivated gardens come alive with colour in the spring, fresh forest trails offer a respite from the summer heat; woodlands are set ablaze with rich hues of fall, and paths lead you deep into the beauty of the winter woods.
I was commissioned to create some illustrations for the park that reflected the natural sciences but that kids and their parents could still engage, interact and have fun with.
