G The goal of a natural science illustrator is to combine the images of the natural world with elegant art technique to tell the story of science. The goal of a graphic designer is to combine the client’s images and words with elegant art technique to tell that client’s story… two sides of the same coin. Since 1976, I have endeavored to provide elegant and functional art to help my clients tell their story to their audiences. Gail Guth
