The art of Scientific Illustration translates information into visual images so that we can better understand the world around us. I am attempting by my artwork to help others better understand the flora and fauna that surrounds us, ranging from the macro understanding of the skin of a frog to the vistas that form an ecosystem.
The image above was from a mural at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. It was installed to cover a 7’ x 17’ glass tank that was being converted to an environment depicting a coral reef. I created the images digitally and they were printed out and applied to the glass surface, much like a billboard, then removed when the project was complete.
