Trenton Jung
I am a natural science illustrator based in Seattle, WA. Born and raised outside of Los Angeles, CA, the sun and water play an influential role in my art practice. I received my BFA in Illustration from the Maryland Institute College of Art. I am an active member of the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators. My work reflects my deep interest in organic forms, and focuses on the unseen and unnoticed aspects of nature. I use a variety of mediums to represent my observations including watercolor, graphite, colored pencil, and gouache. To successfully communicate information and capture the complexities of the natural world, observation and understanding of his subjects are the keys to my work. My work has been featured at the American Museum of Natural History, in the Smithsonian magazine, at the Woodard Lab (University of Riverside, CA), in Anthropocene, and Nature (science journals). I have exhibited work in Washington D.C., Baltimore, MD, Fullerton, CA, and Brisbane, Australia.
