Sheri Amsel

Sheri Amsel has combined a love of the outdoors with graduate degrees in science and biomedical illustration to create a body of work that includes more than 30 nature-themed children’s picture books, school programs, and illustrated interpretive signage for science museums and nature centers across the U.S.

In 2005, she created Exploringnature.org, an illustrated science education website, that is used by naturalists and educators worldwide.

In 2009, she received the prestigious Elizabeth Abernathy Hull Award for Outstanding Contributions to the Environmental Education of Youths, by the Garden Club of America.

Sheri lives in the Adirondack Mountains in Upstate New York, where she works out of a home studio with a view of rolling fields, wetlands, and forest. She spends her free time hiking with her very large dog and growing an enormous vegetable garden.
