Kathleen is a scientific affiliate of the Field Museum and science and conservation affiliate of Morton Arboretum. Her illustrations are featured by the Smithsonian at https://northamericanorchidcenter.org/featured-botanical-illustration/ and on the Field Museum and Conservation Research Institute websites with the goal of helping introduce new audiences to field botany. Kathleen has been steward of Hosah Prairie since 2015, and of Grainger Woods in Mettawa, IL since 2003. She believes that close observation of nature can lead to an ongoing relationship that spiritually nurtures both the individual and the natural areas for which they learn to care.
