Join us on Tuesday, July 27 at 5:30 p.m. for a magical online presentation of fine art and scientific exploration with Josie Iselin author and illustrator of The Curious World of Seaweed.
For over twenty years Josie Iselin, of Vinalhaven & San Francisco, has used her flatbed scanner and computer exclusively for generating imagery. She is still captivated by the fluidity with which this technique allows her to render and design with three-dimensional objects. As a fine artist, Josie exhibits large-scale prints at select galleries, museums, hospital and other public spaces. Synthesizing the scientific stories of our coast is her overriding passion, bringing thoughtfulness and stewardship to this extraordinary place of discovery.
The book focuses on the North American Pacific coast, from Baja California in Mexico to Canada’s British Columbia, but includes a generous two-page picture, an outlier near the book’s end, of Irish moss. Her previous seaweed book, An Ocean Garden: The Secret Life of Seaweed, contained many specimens found in Vinalhaven, her East coast home.
