Hello! As my introduction, I'm a visual storyteller—I love to combine my art 🎨 & words to tell stories, usually natural history related 🌵.
Here are 4 recent examples: Tucson Yard Journal, a monthly series highlighting amazing flora & fauna in my yard; 4 Perpetual Journal weekly entries; 9-21-22 nature journal (mostly text/little art); ocotillo & hummingbird (mostly art/little text).

Here’s another recent series of mine - my Tucson Color Journal. Every day for a year I painted 1 color/day that represented something from nature I saw in or from my yard. Here are colorful April; dry & hot June; monsoon-rainy July; & subdued December.

You can see the whole year at http://paulaborchardt.com/illustration/tucson.html#tucson-color-journal

We often see a Western Screech-Owl in our owl box at dusk & often hear Curve-billed Thrashers serenading us in our Tucson, AZ, USA yard! Here’s my art of both in my Perpetual Journal.
