Lostus McElfish chose twelve herbs from the Mexican Curandero (native healer) and Partera (mid-wife) traditions for this series with the help of a curandero, Don Jacinto Madigral.
McElfish uses ink and watercolor to create sensitive and respectful botanical art in the fine tradition of Naturalist illustration.
Hierbas Curativas- Healing Herbs of the Mexican Curanderismo Tradition. The show runs con-currently with the main gallery exhibit from September 10 through October 8.
