A Closer Look: Cornelia Hesse-Honegger’s ‘Disturbed Insects’
– Genevieve Hitchings
Perhaps most well known for her meticulous paintings of mutated insects that dramatically explore the damaging aftermath of Chernobyl’s nuclear meltdown, Hesse-Honegger has spent her long career bridging science and art in an effort to call attention to unacknowledged dangers of nuclear energy.
Member Spotlight: Dino Pulerà
“In my senior year in high school my biology teacher noticed that I used drawings to record my observations in labs and mentioned that some people made a living from illustrating scientific concepts. Looking back now I’m shocked that I didn’t even consider a career in scientific illustration.” Dino Pulerà describes his path to his successful career..
Chapter Happenings
A look at recent activities of the Finger Lakes, New England, Northwest, and Greater Washington D.C. chapters and the newly-formed Texas Group.
