Two dramatic posters autographed by Project InSECT artist
Jessa Huebing-Reitinger feature intricately detailed images. They
are reproductions of the artist's huge eight- to nine-foot canvases
painted over a period of several weeks at museums,
zoos and art museums to educate the public on the science of
entomology through the medium of performing visual arts. This
talented artist refers to a microscope of an actual specimen,
then moves to the canvas, often on a ladder, to create these
much larger-than-life images.
