What is Hayley up to?

Class, art, and volunteering

Right now, I am in the throes of my scientific illustration class and completing commissions. I am also volunteering at an ecosystem science reserve, participating in citizen science opportunities, and attending naturalist events.

14x17in Watercolor on 300lb Cotton Paper

 

This piece is a commission for a family friend of mine. I learned so much while doing this piece and it got my blood, sweat, and tears. It seemed like every step of this one held a challenge, and here it is finally finished. I’m very pleased with the result. Let it be known that I am capable of nice handwriting! My younger self would be proud.

Here is my newest project

Thanks to a generous professor at St. Olaf, I borrowed a taxidermy juvenile Coopers Hawk for an assignment in watercolor.
