Charlotte Tysall: Three Quarters

Charlotte is a senior at Cornell University, where she majors in Biological Sciences and minors in Fine Art. The pieces in this gallery are examples of work she has created so far during her first three years at Cornell. When not drawing, painting, or going to classes, she loves exploring Ithaca while running with her friends in the Cornell Running Club. Charlotte works mostly in colored pencil and oil paint, mediums she manipulates in order to achieve her realistic style. Her interest in science manifests itself through her scientific illustrations, where she aims to translate biology into forms that are both engaging and accessible. Last summer, Tysall worked as a biological illustrator at the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge in La Joya, New Mexico, where she wrote and illustrated a guide to the physics and ecology behind iridescence in living things. This year, while wrapping up her undergraduate classes, she’ll be working on her senior honors research thesis as well as starting an illustration project working with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and their site Birds of the World. Immediately after graduation, she intends on either attending graduate school or pursuing scientific illustration. No matter what, she’ll continue making art along the way. She sells prints and stickers of her work through her website, www.ctysallart.com, and you can find more of her work on her Instagram, @ctysall.art.
