Gail Dentler is a south Texas artist combining art and advocacy for the natural world. She has a passion for creating illustrations to document the ecology of
plants, pollinators and hummingbirds, found in gardens and coastal prairies. Dentler is currently documenting in art, natural food sources consumed by hummingbirds as they migrate through Texas.  These plants are found in our gardens, landscapes and are naturally drought tolerant.  “I am creating these botanical illustrations as a way of conservation for this big beautiful planet upon which we live.”
