Nikulinsky Naturally: An Artist’s Life

Artist Philippa Nikulinsky, AM, is a nationally and internationally recognised botanical illustrator.  This book celebrates Philippa’s extraordinary career from the mid-1970s to today. Specialising in plants from harsh environments, especially the Great Sandy Desert, Philippa’s magnificent illustrations have been included in many books and magazines.  Her career focuses on a lifetime fascination with the flora and fauna of the arid lands of Western Australia. For nearly 50 years she has travelled throughout the state to record, draw and paint its phenomenal natural history. She has shared her gift for watercolour painting through teaching, exhibitions, commissioned works and publications, most recently Cape Arid, published in 2012.
