Katie Kollars
Scientific Illustrator
ARTIST STATEMENT
My interest in nature (especially animals like birds and insects) was reflected in the subject matter
I was drawn to focusing on in my artwork. This focus on illustrating the natural world translated very well into studying scientific illustration and often allowed me to draw subjects that I genuinely had interest in learning about. I especially enjoy emphasizing my concern for environmental issues and the well being for a variety of plant and animal species.
