Kristin Link is a science illustrator, visual artist, and educator based in McCarthy, Alaska. Her work explores the intersection of art, ecology, and place, focusing on northern landscapes including glaciers, tundra, and the boreal forest. She taught us a quite a bit about glaciers in her workshop and we explored different ways to represent them on the page.
Jean Mackay gave us a lesson on the American Eel, both their life cycle (amazing!), and tips for painting them.
