William T. Cooper is nationally and internationally recognised as one of Australia’s most talented botanical and bird artists; his work is exquisite and scientifically accurate. Wendy Cooper is a renowned botanist and taxonomist. Together they have produced works of great artistic beauty and scientific merit and I will discuss aspects and examples of their work.
