We are artists linked by family ties and a passion for art, science and nature. The Leaning Oaks Art Residency gathers together semi-regularly to focus on their art. Emily Beaudoin is a watercolour and pen and ink artist/muralist who captures mountains, sky, beautiful beetles, sumptuous slugs and everything in between. https://www.emilybeaudoin.com David Fraser is a biologist who’s been painting since knee high to a grasshopper. Dave is drawn to capturing habitats and interactions. Becky Johnson creates in linocuts and has found ways to incorporate critters and landscapes into functional and fine art. https://www.etsy.com/shop/BeckyJohnsonDesigns Connie Johnson‘s fibre art is influenced from an early career in entomology and time outside. Her silk pieces incorporate colour, artistry, whimsy and accuracy, and are one of a kind! Jackie Ramsay is a professional artist who can create in any medium or genre, and is always exploring new materials and subject matter.

Amazing Space Studio
111
Artists Claire Kujundzic and Bill Horne have operated Amazing Space Studio for over 25 years, first in Wells, BC, & now in Victoria. They work with a wide range of subject matter in a variety of media, including painting, printmaking, photography, and archival reproductions. Living on the periphery of the Mountain Pine Beetle epidemic provoked new imagery for both of them. They have exhibited their beetle art at International Union of Forest Research Organizations conferences in Monteslcaros (Spain), Sopron (Hungary), and Banff, Alberta, as well as a Spanish Plant Pathology conference in Palencia (Spain). Nature continues to inspire Claire and Bill, who believe that art and science have much in common. More info: https://amazingspacestudio.com/about-us/

Macroscopic Solutions, LLC
509
Our innovation is called the Macropod technology and it uses the image generation technique of focus stacking to produce 2D imagery and 3D models that are completely in focus, color accurate and high resolution. There is another technology akin to focus stacking called plenoptics which uses an optical array to refocus light in front of a cameras’ sensor. This is a low-resolution and low-light technique that we are not currently exploring. Instead, we are part of a large, but relatively small group of hobbyists, researchers and professionals who use focus stacking software and hardware solutions designed to capture images of microscopic and macroscopic sized objects without having limitations in depth-of-field, color and resolution.

@darwid_illustration
AR3
@darwid_illustration is a scientific illustration project that seeks to promote and improve communication of knowledge through Scientific Art with high artistic and scientific rigor. What to do if we want to explain the life cycle of some animal or an interesting fact but words are not enough? It is very likely that most of us take a piece of paper and make a sketch to explain it. However, if we want to transform these drafts into scientific illustrations, not only visually attractive, but also showing the story behind them, we will face a challenging task. At darwid_illustration we understand the mean of these sketches, which our duty is to taking them off the paper and turning them into high-quality scientific and artistic illustrations, with the aim of communicate their main ideas. If you are preparing a scientific article, a grant, a thesis, a book or even a thematical website, we can help communicating all your ideas with the personalized aesthetic that your content demands.

Rad Source Technologies, Inc.
608
Is Non-GMO Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) right for you? Pests are harmful to both the agricultural industry and human health. Rapid reproduction and population growth of these pests result in agricultural losses in crops and livestock, economic damage, and the uncontrolled spread of harmful diseases called vector-borne diseases, which are carried by certain blood-feeding organisms such as mosquitoes and transmitted to humans through their bites. One method that is used to eliminate pests is called the sterile insect technique (SIT). SIT uses radiation to mass-sterilize male pests in a population, and these males are unable to produce offspring when mating with females. SIT has been successfully used to control invasive insect pests since the 1940’s. Rad Source creates and manufactures cost-efficient and safe x-ray irradiation instruments specifically designed for SIT, reducing the burden of pests and vector-borne diseases throughout the world.
