​I am a professional Scientific Illustrator with education and working experience in biology. Primarily a self taught artist, I combine my background and love for the arts to create visuals for the communication and education of science topics.
​
Born and raised among the lakes of Minnesota, it was easy to find and connect with nature. My wish is to help communicate science to a variety of audiences. By combining two of my greatest interests, the arts and science, I believe I am doing that in my own way.
​
My name is Joel Popp and my goal is to use my art as communication to foster understanding and wonder in nature and the sciences.
