Peggy Edwards (AKA Peigi McCann). I am a freelance botanical and natural science illustrator. Born and raised on the central coast of California, I currently divide my time between the central coast, the Sierra Nevada, and Scotland. Having earned a B.S. at The University of California, Berkeley and a graduate degree in Natural Science Illustration at the University of California, Santa Cruz, I teach illustration classes to teens and adults; illustrate for clients such as the Nature Conservancy, the Sierra Club, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife; and write botanical articles for various botanical publications.
