Practitioners of Natural History Illustration focus on depicting reality, aiming to comprehend and visually represent elements, themes, and phenomena from the natural world. Through careful observation, fieldwork, investigation, teamwork, and studio-based exploration, they create intricate artworks that precisely capture complex shapes, structures, and stories. This field inherently involves collaboration, with our research students engaging in interdisciplinary projects alongside various industries. Current research partnerships involve professionals in medical and botanical sciences, ecology, mycology, and archaeology. The artistic outputs in Natural History Illustration are diverse, encompassing both 2D and 3D works created through traditional and digital techniques. These may include scientific, taxonomic, reconstructive, procedural, and imaginative illustrations, as well as infographics, models, and digital media like animations. The resulting works frequently serve practical purposes as scientific and educational tools. Natural History Illustrations are designed for both print and digital platforms and are often featured in exhibitions, including those at museums.
