artandarchaeology

Archaeologist, natural science illustrator, and former art history professor specializing in Classic Veracruz iconography and epigraphy---following the road to ruins on five continents and multiple countries. Closer to home I enjoy hiking, biking, kayaking, and exploring caves, tunnels, industrial ruins, and insectivorous bogs.
