I’m always curious about the artist’s life before a well known work made them household names. I was reading up about Beatrix Potter (Helen Beatrix Potter) who is best known for The Tale of Peter Rabbit. I never grew up reading her books, but am familiar with her watercolor illustrations of little whimsical animals. Here’s a look at one of her illustrations she created in the period she was drawn to mycology. The author extensively studied, researched and even developed a theory on how fungi germinated. Her findings and papers she had written about her observations on how fungi reproduced in a more independent process would later be rebuffed by renowned figures of the botanical society, simply because she was a woman with amateur status. You can find a collection of Potter’s remarkable botanical drawings and watercolors at the Armitt Museum & Library.
