Katura Reynolds has freelanced as a science illustrator since 1996. She has drawn a wide range of subject matter, from ancient Aleutian artifacts to fossil flamingo footprints. She enjoys the intense focus required by illustration work, and the thrill of discovering new details as she minutely examines her subjects. You can see more samples of Katura’s illustrations at www.katura-art.com.
