Hi, my name is Liz Wahid. I am a Certified Science Illustrator who focuses primarily on ornithological illustrations. My backgrounds in fine art, wildlife conservation, and the care of captive raptors constantly inspire my work. I see birds as a gateway to connecting with and conserving nature, as a curiosity and regard for birds can foster a world of change in the scope of ecological conservation. It is my hope that the accuracy of my illustrations helps viewers to better understand nature, and the subjects I illustrate inspire others to connect with the natural world around them.
