# Alice Tangerini

> Alice Ruth Tangerini is an American botanical illustrator and curator. She began her career in 1968 at the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) after being hired by American botanist Lyman Bradford Smith. Following her graduation from Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts in 1972 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting and printmaking, she joined the NMNH as a full-time staff illustrator. In 1984, Tangerini helped identify a new bromeliad species, which Smith and botanist Harold E. Robinson named Navia aliciae in recognition of her work. She sustained an injury in 2005 that left her with double vision in her right eye after surgery, but she has stated she will continue illustrating for as long as her eyesight allows. As of 2024, Tangerini remained the first and only botanical illustrator employed by the NMNH.
