Wurst Illustrations is an Art and Science Illustration effort created by Stacey Wurster who has lived in West Seattle since 2011.
After receiving a Biology degree from Indiana’s Earlham college, she shipped out to the Pacific Northwest and moved to Seattle for a certificate in Science Illustration from the UW. She has drawn steadily since, exploring botanical subjects via commissions and personal projects. She has long found that recording the natural world by hand is a uniquely intimate way to observe, understand, and become physically immersed with a species. There is a deep level of investigation required to transfer a live organism to paper, and that life is what she attempts to reveal to the viewer’s eye.
Spurred by a PNW wild forest mushroom book idea, her work has had a particular focus on the odd, dreaded and edible world of Mycology. Through Wurst Illustrations, Stacey offers a wide variety of high quality prints of local fungi, as well as local and non native birds, plants and other Science Illustration subjects.
