Michelle Buziak
Michelle Buziak is a science illustrator, focused on creating art that strengthens her local community’s connection to the natural world. From fluffy birds to fossilized fishes, she draws inspiration from the incredible evolutionary diversity of plant and animal life. She hopes to cultivate in others a sense of wonder and an urge to protect what surrounds us, with an emphasis on the plants and animals we are at most risk of losing. She also has great interest and takes great personal inspiration in preserving and growing heritage varieties of edible plants that allow us to find harmony though small community self-sufficiency.
