Debra Lee Baldwin, an award-winning photojournalist, is widely hailed as the "Queen of Succulents." She helped launched the gardening world's interest in succulents with her first book, Designing with Succulents, and with her two other books Succulent Container Gardens and Succulents Simplified. Baldwin's own half-acre garden has been featured in Better Homes and Gardens, Sunset, San Diego Home and Garden, and other publications. The child of Sardinian immigrants, Laura Serra was raised in a small German town at the border of France. She began drawing at the age of two and never stopped. Her work has always been influenced by two seemingly unrelated subjects: typography and portraiture. With pencil, paint, ink, thread, pixels, markers, and coffee, Laura explores the relationships between characters and curves, letters and faces. See more of her work at lauraserra.org.
