For those of you who like peaking into puddles, exploring under rocks, and don't mind getting your feet wet, I am arranging a field trip to a local beach for tide pooling. The Seattle Aquarium sends out Beach Naturalists to various local beaches during low tide. They are available to answer any questions and facilitate safe discovery of all the neat creatures made accessible during low tide. Let me know if you are going to participate by completing this form. Details Want to learn more about using digital media? GNSI Oregon is holding a workshop covering adobe photoshop, illustrator, and more.

Artist Bio Margaret Davidson has a BFA from the University of Michigan and an MFA from the University of Washington. She is both an artist and illustrator, and also teaches courses in Beginning Drawing, Sources of Modernism in Drawing, Aesthetics of Drawing, and various drawing technique classes at Gage Academy of Art in Seattle, Washington. In scientific illustration Davidson concentrated on archaeological and anthropological subject matter, drawing lithics, pottery, and especially basketry and textiles. To this end she has illustrated various books and journal articles, such as Spruce Root Basketry of the Haida and Tlingit by Sharon Busby (2003 Marquand Books and the University of Washington Press) and The Archaeology of the Yakutat Foreland: a Socioecological View, Volumes I and II, by Stanley Drew Davis (1996). She is the author of Contemporary Drawing: Key Concepts and Techniques, published in 2011 by Watson-Guptill, a division of Random House, New York. Her focus in her own drawings is in the subtle and reciprocal relationship between the mark and the surface, along with various related dichotomies such as figure and ground, form and space, and illusion and reality. She is represented by Anchor Art Space in Anacortes, Washington, and Sisko Gallery in Seattle. I am working on all the details for Margaret Davidson's LAST GNSI NW workshop.

I want your input.
1) I would like to plan a workshop where we learn how to key out a species and learn which characteristics should be clearly drawn. Let me know what you would like to identify. You can provide your input here. Please respond by Friday May 17th. 2) I am open to suggestions for other events and how to make GNSI NW better for everyone. You can provide that input here. If you have any questions, let me know. Image provided by Susan Jones Presenter Susan Jones Topic Before graphite pencils were available, artists drew with metals - lead, silver, gold and others. Discover the subtle, luminous tones of silver drawing, and learn to use this lovely Renaissance technique in your art and illustrations. Susan takes you through the history of the medium and teaches today's techniques for getting the most out of it in your own work. Registration Time Points
