Visualizing Science Through Art

Can you imagine the tiniest denizens of a hummingbird’s nostril? Or picture the beating heart of a snail? Or view a landscape changing over a million years, all in your mind’s eye?

Weird and Wonderful

A group exhibition by the Finger Lakes Chapter
of the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators

April 8 - May 12, 2023 

These are my new pieces in the exhibition. 
Double-click for full view.

This planet is weird and wonderful – from its geologic formations to the plants and animals that inhabit it. The members of the Finger Lakes Chapter of the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators would like to share with you, through their artwork, some of these organisms. Art is one of the earliest forms of communication, and illustrations continue to be an excellent way to share knowledge. Our artists hope you can appreciate the weird in this wonderful world. Funding for this event provided in part by the GNSI Education Fund and GNSI-Finger Lakes Chapter.
