Loh Xiang Yun is an Artist and
Scientific Botanical Illustrator

Her work interrogates how people relate to nature.

Through durational projects that map and document plants in our surroundings, she charts the changing ways we see and define nature.

In 2018, she began her professional career as a scientific botanical illustrator. 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).
