Two female artists advanced botany and conservation through detailed flora illustrations in Queensland, now recognized in a PhD study.
Two pioneering female botanical artists, Marian Ellis Rowan and Vera Scarth-Johnson, advanced science and conservation through detailed illustrations of flora from Queensland’s Endeavour River region despite gender barriers in a male-dominated field.
Their work, supported by privileged social standing, contributed to botanical knowledge and environmental preservation.
Their legacy is now highlighted in a PhD research project by James Cook University’s Janine Evans, inspired by Scarth-Johnson’s paintings displayed at Nature’s Powerhouse in Cooktown, underscoring the overlooked role of women in scientific advancement.
