Helga Jaunegg is an artist and illustrator working from her studio in Styria/Austria. She creates a broad range of commercial illustrations since 2010 and also paints equine and canine portraits with oil on canvas since 2002. In 2016 Helga began focusing in Natural History Illustration and Botanical Art due to her love for the natural world. She enjoys capturing the hidden details and interesting patterns in nature with coloured pencils, water-soluble graphite and gouache. She also loves drawing with pen and pigment ink, because this technique allows creating highly detailed botanical illustrations in black and white. 

Helga does preliminary studies with graphite before she begins working on the final artwork. She is also keeping a Botanical Journal where she records the characteristics and growing habits of herbs and very often endangered flowers and plants she finds in nature.
