Loh Xiang Yun is an Artist and
Scientific Botanical Illustrator
who lives and works in Singapore.
Her work interrogates how people relate to nature. Using her observations made through drawing, painting, and photography, she examines the everyday to study how nature is managed and engineered in our cities. Through durational projects that map and document plants in our surroundings, she charts the changing ways we see and define nature.
Her drawings were included in scientific publications such as flora monographs, taxonomic papers, and new species descriptions primarily using dried and alcohol-preserved herbarium specimens. She has contributed illustrations to the 10-year project ‘Flora of Singapore’ spearheaded by the Singapore Botanic Gardens under the National Parks Board (NParks).
