"This project began with my passion for herbalism and healing with plants. Each watercolor is an in-depth examination of an herb, each to represent a different "action" or way that it supports the health of the body."

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a tasty, aromatic carminative- a delicious, meal-enhancing digestive aid. The dried ripe seeds and oil are used to make medicine. It is a lovely culinary addition, and not only are the leaves edible, but so are the seeds, bulbs and even the pollen. Fennel is a plant whose leaves look very much like dill- thin, waving frondy filaments of bright green. Fennel bulb, which looks kind of like a cross between an onion and the base of a bunch of celery, has a sweet, perfumy, anise-like flavor. Rather than making food taste like licorice, though, fennel imparts a light, bright spring-like quality to foods.
