Nathalie Aall
Illustrator
Not Funny, Harvey!
Nathalie has always been drawn to the natural world and discovered
fulfillment in depicting the forms of life that inspire her the most.
Through her art, she aims to create works that will increase public
awareness of often overlooked animals and encourage sustainability
and conservation efforts in viewers both young and old. To her, the
meshing of biology and art is essential in communicating the beauty
and importance of the natural world.​​
She pursued an academic career in biology and conservation ecology, receiving a Master's degree in Biological Sciences. Constantly pulled toward art, she received a certificate in Natural Science Illustration from the University of Washington in Seattle. She lives in the awe-inspiring Sonoran Desert of Tucson and finds solace in her science and art.
