Instructor, Phoebe Draper
I recently moved to Boulder after spending my life in the Blue Ridge foothills of Virginia. I am a recent graduate of the School of Architecture from the University of Virginia, and plan to begin a career in Landscape Architecture after some future years of traveling and working with different landscapes. I am an artist of varying mediums, primarily in botanical / architectural drawing as well as hoop dance and performance. I am currently long-term traveling in order to study various ecosystems and plant communities through botanical illustration, ecological restoration work, and environmental education.
