This is for you...
If you're seeking reconnection with the beauty and wisdom in nature.
If you value handmade art and the energy that comes from something created with intention and love.
If you appreciate plants and are open to experiencing them as friends, teachers, and allies.
If you want to surround yourself with reminders that the world is inherently beautiful.
If you love the idea of building a botanical oracle over time, a growing library of plant wisdom and art that lives in your hands, on your walls, and in your daily life.
About the Artist
I'm Monica Basile, and I believe that beauty is medicine for the soul. I create art as a practice of presence and healing.
For more than 28 years, I've held space as a midwife, Reiki practitioner, and bodyworker. My hands have always been how I connect, whether I'm pressing ink onto paper, carving into linoleum, or offering healing touch. Art and healing have never been separate for me. I see them as different expressions of the same intention: to help people remember their wholeness.
My botanical illustrations are meditations on our interconnectedness with the earth. Drawing on my ongoing herbal studies and lifelong relationship with plants, I create art that invites you to slow down and notice the sacred in the ordinary.
Roots and Blossoms is an extension of all I hold dear: beauty, plant wisdom, self-compassion, and the healing that comes from connecting with nature and with ourselves. I can't wait to share this monthly practice with you!
What makes this special
You are invited to live with and engage with the art. The prints are meant to be easily displayed, and the booklet is an invitation to get to know each month’s plant through creative practice and self-reflection.
You are invited into a rhythm of receiving. Just as plants grow in their own time, this offering invites you to receive gradually and seasonally, building your collection of botanical art and wisdom over time.
The Value of Handmade
Every linocut is hand-carved and printed by me in my studio. Each one is an original and no two are exactly alike. If you were to collect these prints individually, a 4×6 piece would be $20-25. As a subscriber, you receive one every month, along with a thoughtfully designed interactive booklet, all for $16.
Real art is a powerful form of human connection, increasingly valuable in a disembodied digital world.

I'm creating these with the intention that they could form a complete botanical oracle collection over time. For now, I'm letting the plants guide the journey and seeing what wants to emerge.
