Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub is a project that celebrates the beauty, uniqueness, and ecological significance of the critically endangered Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub (ESBS). Through a series of detailed botanical artworks created over twelve months, I explore not only the individual character of selected plant species, but also their connections with the insects, fungi, birds, and other organisms that form this remarkable ecosystem.

My aim is to use botanical art as a way of fostering appreciation, understanding, and care for this endangered community. By closely observing and depicting these species and their relationships, I hope to highlight the intricate interdependence that exists within the natural world and to encourage greater awareness of the importance of conserving and regenerating the Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub.

This project reflects my belief that art can help people connect with nature in meaningful ways and inspire a deeper sense of responsibility for the ecosystems that surround us.

ABOUT ANNA VOYTSEKHOVICH

I am a professional botanist, scientific illustrator, art tutor and award-winning botanical artist. In my artworks I’m trying to bridge science and art. With a PhD in Botany and formal training in natural history illustration, I specialise in highly detailed depictions of plants, fungi, and wildlife that highlight ecological relationships and conservation themes. My artworks have been recognised in major exhibitions across Australia and internationally, with awards including Highly Commended at the Margaret Flockton Award (2021), Best in Show at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show (2023) and beacame a finalist in the Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize (2026). I exhibit and organise exhibitions across Australia and internationally, and teach art workshops in various locations across Australia. Art takes most of my time, but apart from being an artist, I work in bush regeneration to restore critically endangered plant community Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub.
