The interdisciplinary field of scientific illustration is concerned with reflecting the findings of science and technology. As scientific illustrators, we bridge the gap between science and art by creating renderings that make complex concepts understandable, often showing the unobservable and that which cannot be photographed. Scientific illustrations appear in print, exhibits, the web, video, animation, and wall art.
