Up Moss Creek Studio

Erynn McNeill is an artist, biologist, and scientific illustrator. While obtaining their Bachelor of Science in Biology they worked throughout the backcountry of Montana, Idaho and Alaska tracking animals and recording plant species until the fall of 2020 when forced isolation brought back an old love of creating art. Taking inspiration from their wilderness experiences, they created Up Moss Creek Studio in 2021 as a habitat for experimentation where they combine their knowledge of scientific illustration, botany, mycology and multiple art mediums to create realistic figure paintings that highlight the hidden worlds within western Montana's diverse ecosystems. They are currently based in the Northern Rockies of Montana where they work as a Rare Plant Technician for the U.S. Forest Service and share a home in the mountains with their partner Brandon, dog Dagwood, and cat Orion.
