ABOUT

Rachel Tellano Designer | Artist | Illustrator

Landscape architecture combines both of my lifelong interests in art and plants. I have always enjoyed gifting my artwork to others. At the same time, I felt intrigued by the many benefits of landscape plants.

I was especially fascinated by trees. When I discovered landscape architecture, I realized it perfectly combines my love of designing for others and working with plants.
