Caudle

the Monterey Bay Aquarium, creating hundreds of images of fish,
shorebirds, marine mammals, invertebrates, marine algae, shore
plants, habitats, and human models. Her work has been exhibited

Jenny Keller
Science Illustration Program Coordinator. Teaches Field
Sketching, Field Sketching in Color, Applied Techniques
in Natural Science Illustration, Zoological Illustration
and History of Scientific Illustration. Jenny combined
her lifelong interests in both art and science when she
began keeping illustrated field journals in 1981. Since
that time, sketching natural subjects from life has continued
to inspire and inform her other illustration projects,
which have centered around mammals, birds, and botanical
subject matter. Her special interests include studies
of skeletal anatomy and describing movement through animated
sequences. In 1992, Dolphin Days (W. W. Norton),for which
she was the sole illustrator, won the John Burroughs
Award for best book of the year in natural history.

Amadeo Bachar
Computer Graphics Instructor.
Teaches Information Graphics, Design of Information Graphics,
Interactivity Information Graphics. As a freelance illustrator
Amadeo has illustrated for, among others, Scientific American,
National Geographic, Bay Nature magazine, and Long Marine Lab,
composing illustrations ranging from pencil sketches, watercolor,
2D computer graphics, to organic 3D models. He is particularly
interested in the science of science illustration where versatility,
problem solving, and functionally beautiful art combine to
maximize the effectiveness of any illustration for specific
client needs. When he’s not in his studio you can often
find him tromping up some streambed, diving through the kelp
forests, or kayaking the caves of Mendocino coast looking for
inspiration.
