Egan, Judith L. (Judy) (fl. 1990s )
Judy was associated with the Herbarium in Darwin, NT (DNA) in the 1990s.
Her research interest is illustrated in this quote from Pieter Baas in 1994 commenting on the ASBS Symposium
'Origin and Evolution
of the Flora of the
Monsoon Tropics':
"I would have liked to hear a bit more
about its evolution in terms of specific adaptations
to the monsoonal conditions. However, only Judy
Egan's paper on changes in deciduousness and
incidence of storage roots along a latitudinal transect
from Darwin to Alice Springs was in that category."
In later life, Judy describes herself as an artist:
"I am an artist living in Humpty Doo in the rural outskirts of Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. I love plants, I love animals, and I love colour!
I work in traditional media such as paints and pencils and also in digital media like Photoshop and Illustrator though my favourite mediums are coloured pencils and watercolour. I am also a very keen photographer and take virtually all my own reference photos.
With an Honours degree in Ecological Sciences, several years working as a botanist and many years self-employed in horticulture it is probably not surprising that the natural world is my greatest source of inspiration. I offer both original artworks for sale and/or commission and also premium quality giclee prints of selected artpieces. I have original artworks and prints hanging in collections around Australia and overseas."
