Works of art by a dozen southern California illustrators will be on view at the San Bernardino County Museum in “Natural Illustrations” from December 4 through January 16. The public is invited to meet the artists on Saturday, December 4, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

“Natural Illustrations” features works by members of the Southern California Guild of Natural Science Illustrators. Artists include Irene Hariuchi (Huntington Beach), Jeremy Stoller (Culver City), Sharon Belkin and Robert Reid (Los Angeles), Katura Reynolds (Alhambra), Leslie Walker (Redondo Beach), Stephanie McCann and Jamie O’Toole (Santa Barbara), Julie Schneider-Ljubenkov (Pauma Valley), Michelle Schwengel (Venice), Tania Marien (Riverside), and Pat Farris (Thousand Oaks).

“Throughout history, every field of science has benefited from the work of illustrators: individuals who are able to visualize scientific concepts and realistically render natural science specimens,” said Jeremy Stoller, president of the Southern California GNSI chapter. “Science illustrators use a variety of traditional and digital illustration techniques to create drawings with particular attention to scientific accuracy and readability that also have unique and stunning beauty.”

The Guild of Natural Science Illustrators is an international, non-profit, professional organization for practicing illustrators and those interested in the field of scientific illustration. Works by natural science illustrators appears in scientific journals, textbooks, field guides, magazines, and on the walls of museums and science centers. Works featured in the San Bernardino County Museum exhibit encompass a variety of media: watercolor, scratchboard, acrylic, oil, pen and ink, woodcuts, graphite, and bronze, as well as digital media.

The exhibit is free with museum admission.
