About the Artist
Nadine Allan is a visual artist who focuses on themes of ethnobotany, migration and semiotics. Nadine teaches children’s art classes at Twinkle Monster Art Studio in Diamond Bar.
Growing up with a multi-cultural background, she is inspired by the universal power of plants to be our aids in daily life. She experienced the healing powers of herbs through family members who practiced Chinese medicine and learned about self-reliance from her American family who tended edible gardens. At age ten, her grandfather, a botanist, gave her a flower press that he had built. This sparked her very first plant-based entrepreneurship, creating and selling artwork created out of pressed flowers. She has a degree in Fine Arts from UCLA and continues to combine her passions for art and nature. Visit her shop at Feral Botanics.
