@JusttheZooofUs Hi all, I'm a science and nature author and illustrator for kids, researcher, and amateur naturalist with a focus on urban wildlife. I'm also of a partnership returning native habitat to the cityscape in VT. This thread is awesome! Loving everyone's intros 😍
#SciArtSeptember "evolving"
Crows are aware of themselves & able to think consciously, but lack the part of the brain (cerebral cortex) that scientists posited as the location of this type of thinking. Implying consciousness might be older & more widespread than believed (duh?)

#SciArtSeptember Day 15 "handmade"
Science of fermentation + edible elements of the landscape = seasonal meads. Some of ingredients we've mixed and matched. Japanese knotweed takes special care to harvest without spreading it. Trying out fully digital sketching & new styles 🤔
#SciArtSeptember Day 13 "viridian"
The viridian dance of a Norway spruce in springtime. Norway spruce are an introduced species in North America. They were used extensively in reforestation efforts across New England.
#SciArtSeptember Day 10 "living"
A view of the living landscape from one of my favorite places to sit, which happens to be in a cemetery.
Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm Alexandra, a children's author/illustrator focused on ecological literacy and celebrations of self. I like to think of my work as one part science, two parts magic & mystery.
