2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators (GNSI), first founded in 1968 by illustrators at the Smithsonian. In celebration, the Guild’s annual juried exhibit is being held at the downtown Washington D.C. headquarters of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world’s largest multidisciplinary scientific society.
I’m gratified to have my illustrated work titled “White-Lined Sphinx Moth” included in this prestigious and momentous exhibit. I was able to attend the opening of the exhibit on July 16th and the Guild’s week-long professional conference. As every year, it was absolutely inspiring to be among so many talented and knowledgable scientific artists. The conference’s plenaries, workshops, and classes further developed my insight into the modern challenges of creating demonstrative art.
The 50th Anniversary Guild of Natural Science Special Exhibition is on public view at the American Association for the Advancement of Science Art Gallery, 1200 New York Ave, NW Washington, DC, July 16-October 15.
