Nature-Inspired Fine Art & Illustration
by Susan Jones 

 
My twin passions since childhood, nature and drawing, intertwine in natural science illustration and nature-based fine art. The exotic beauty of a tropical fish, the intricacies of lichen – every creature possesses something beautiful, entrancing and miraculous awaiting discovery. It is this element I seek to capture, to translate to two dimensions and reveal for your examination and delight.

  Natural Science Illustration


Specializing in vertebrate and invertebrate zoological, wildlife and botanical illustration.

"To me art, in order to be truly great, must, like the beauty of Nature, be universal in its appeal. It must be simple in its presentation and direct in its expression, like the language of Nature."

— Mahatma Gandhi, 1931
