About
Artist Bio
Hi! My name is Brant. I am a Fine Artist, Illustrator, and Science communicator born and raised in Monroe, Michigan. I have spent my time in Michigan exploring the marshes of Lake Erie and wandering through the Northwoods. This natural discovery created a desire to capture the beauty I've observed here using visual art. Since then, I have produced artwork for River Raisin National Battlefield Park, Michigan Audubon Society, and The Bird Center of Michigan.
I practice science communication both through my visual art, and as an educational interpreter. I have previously worked as a nature guide for the Detroit Bird Alliance as well as the Michigan Audubon Society. I take great pride in connecting people and the natural world for the benefit of both.
Nowadays I spend most of my time in Ithaca, New York, where I am Studying Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and History at Cornell University. I am currently working as a student assistant in the historical art collection at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. I Hope to continue this work and pursue a career as a science illustrator in the future.
