About the Finger Lakes Chapter of the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators:

The Guild of Natural Science Illustrators (GNSI) was created in 1968 as a way to network among the illustrators of the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, DC. The Guild brings together natural science artists around the world to provide them with professional development opportunities through the web and through the Guild's famous week long summer conference.

In 2003, the Finger Lakes chapter was created, meeting about every two to three months to show and tell, to offer mini workshops, to paint at chosen locations or to invite teachers of professional interest. The group consists of around two-dozen members who meet regularly to share artwork, ideas, and expertise in a variety of mediums that range from pencil and watercolor to charcoal dust, silverpoint, and computer illustration.
