Naturalist Night: Creating a Fine Art Painting – From Research to Exhibit
Thursday, April 18, 6-7:30pm
Erin Hunter is a science illustrator and fine artist with a graphic design background—and each of those roles influences how she approaches her pollinator-themed paintings.
In this presentation, Erin will provide a behind-the-scenes look at her most ambitious piece yet, a large painting of California native bees and wildflowers that anchored a 2022 solo show at the San Francisco Botanical Garden.
In addition to discussing what inspired the project, she’ll discuss the process of sketching, designing a layout, painting, and presenting the piece in multiple formats to various audiences. See this piece and more in this year’s The Art of Nature exhibit.
