Shades of Green

Commissioned for their 'Summer in the Shade' feature, Sabrina’s work invites readers to take a closer look at the often-overlooked splendor of native flora - those resilient, graceful plants that flourish out of the spotlight.

Not every plant loves the sun. These native perennials, thriving in dappled shade and woodland light, come alive in subtle textures, shapes, and hues. With delicate brushwork and botanical precision, Sabrina brings these North Carolina plants to life on the page.

From the vibrant pink blooms of the Carolina Rhododendron to the quietly arching stems of Solomon’s Seal, Sabrina’s watercolour illustrations celebrate the quiet beauty found under the tree canopy.
