In the halls of the Forest Museum, we invite you to experience the freshness, color, and deep love for nature radiating from the botanical watercolours of artist Jelena Jesina.

Botanical art is a form of artistic expression that focuses on the accurate and aesthetically refined depiction of plants and flowers through drawings, paintings, and creative compositions. This genre serves not only as an educational tool—enhancing our understanding of plant morphology and diversity—but also as a source of inspiration for nature lovers and gardening enthusiasts alike.

Jelena Jesina has lived in Latvia for over 40 years and has cultivated her professional skills under the guidance of world-renowned botanical artists, including Katerina Spirtus (@story_you_draw) and Billy Showell (@billy_showell).
