Elsa Nadal, a native of Cuba, has resided in the United States since 1960. Her training as editor and translator in agricultural matters led to an interest in botany. Although she had taken formal courses in figure drawing, upon retiring she became interested in watercolors and enrolled in a variety of courses, culminating in the botanical illustration courses offered at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden.
Elsa was an active member of the TBA from 2006 - 2021.
