In an array of work created by fifteen members of the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators (GNSI), Nature in Art demonstrates the principle task of the science illustrator—to create accurate renderings of scientific subjects. In this exhibit, scientific illustrations of birds, trees and other natural subjects are depicted in both traditional and digital formats.
