The Idaho Museum of Natural History (IMNH) on Idaho State University’s Pocatello campus is hosting biological illustrations of local stream macroinvertebrates, now open. 

“The Art of Science” exhibition is made up of biological illustrations by Hannah Clawson, a senior studying biological sciences under the direction of Dr. Colden Baxter, professor. These illustrations explore organisms found in local riparian ecosystems: Mink Creek, City Creek, and Cherry Springs.

“We’re delighted to partner on this exhibit and showcase ISU research to our communities,” said Leif Tapanila, museum director. “These illustrations explore the freshwater ecology and our connections to the world around us.”

“My project exists in the space between art and ecology. Spending so much time collecting and observing various species gave me a new perspective on each one” says Clawson. “I want my art to inspire others to take a closer look the next time they go outside.”

The IMNH has served Idaho since 1934. To learn more or to sign up for classes please visit isu.edu/imnh or call (208) 282-3168.
