The Art of Science

Drawing of a stonefly. The art of science, biological illustrations by Hannah Clawson, senior thesis for the Idaho State University Biological Sciences

Now Open

“The Art of Science” exhibition is made up of biological illustrations by Hannah Clawson, a senior studying biological sciences under the direction of Dr. Colden Baxter, professor. These illustrations explore organisms found in local riparian ecosystems: Mink Creek, City Creek, and Cherry Springs.

“My project exists in the space between art and ecology. Spending so much time collecting and observing various species gave me a new perspective on each one” says Clawson. “I want my art to inspire others to take a closer look the next time they go outside.”

The Role of Land Trusts in Biodiversity Conservation

Opens Nov. 6, 2025

The goals of this exhibition are to develop an awareness of the importance of land trusts and how they work to conserve biodiversity by protecting and connecting habitat on private and public lands in southeastern Idaho for generations to come. The exhibition was created by the Sagebrush Steppe Land Trust, who work with willing landowners in Southeast Idaho to conserve private land.  The land trust's mission is to protect, connect, and enhance wildlife habitat, working lands, and community spaces in Southeast Idaho, now and for future generations.
