{"title":"Stacey Wurster | Wurst Illustrations","description":"\u003cp\u003eWurst Illustrations is an Art and Science Illustration effort created by Stacey\u003cbr\u003eWurster who has lived in West Seattle since 2011. After receiving a Biology\u003cbr\u003edegree from Indiana’s Earlham college, she shipped out to the Pacific\u003cbr\u003eNorthwest and moved to Seattle for a certificate in Science Illustration from\u003cbr\u003ethe UW. She has drawn steadily since, exploring botanical subjects via\u003cbr\u003ecommissions and personal projects. She has long found that recording the\u003cbr\u003enatural world by hand is a uniquely intimate way to observe, understand,\u003cbr\u003eand become physically immersed with a species. There is a deep level of\u003cbr\u003einvestigation required to transfer a live organism to paper, and that life is\u003cbr\u003ewhat she attempts to reveal to the viewer’s eye. Spurred by a PNW wild\u003cbr\u003eforest mushroom book idea, her work has had a particular focus on the odd,\u003cbr\u003edreaded and edible world of Mycology. Through Wurst Illustrations, Stacey\u003cbr\u003eoffers a wide variety of high quality prints of local fungi, as well as local and\u003cbr\u003enon native birds, plants and other Science Illustration subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/4532\/8350\/collections\/Venue_bio_pic.jpg?v=1770922761","url":"https:\/\/www.venueballard.com\/collections\/stacey-wurster-wurst-illustrations.oembed","provider":"Venue Ballard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
