Description
Nothing is black and white. The field of scientific illustration seeks to blur the lines between science and art, showing that artistic mediums can powerfully convey scientific fact. My research, conducted on the rare plants of the Eastern Mojave Desert, will be supplemented with hand-drawn illustrations to convey important findings. I present the Las Vegas bearpoppy, a bright island of color in a sparse specialized habitat.
