Amy Jean Porter is an artist and naturalist based in Connecticut. Over the last twenty years, she’s drawn more than 1,200 species. Her large series of small drawings are a natural history experiment and homage to the life around us. They consider the ways in which language and architecture bridge human culture and the natural world. Porter’s drawings and installations have been exhibited in solo shows in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Paris. She illustrated the popular natural-history books Fungipedia, Florapedia, and Insectpedia (all Princeton University Press).
