Combining data in a book with illustrations and donating the books to various botanical gardens and institutions, such as state parks, can reach a wide range of communities. I choose to draw all 32 endangered species of plants of Texas and transfer that image on to copper plates for printing. I selected the intaglio method because the copper plates will be around indefinitely, unlike these rare plants. Using intaglio, I can mass-produce the image many times and eventually create more books thus heightening awareness. By displaying the books at various state parks I can assist in constructing an understanding of the rarity of these plants, advising travelers to be cautious of where they step and what flowers to collect.
