Marni Fylling

Marni Fylling has been enchanted by the natural world for as long as she can remember, finding her earliest inspirations in her urban backyard and her dad’ s college biology textbook. She studied zoology at UC Davis and natural science illustration at UC Santa Cruz. A science illustrator, writer, and educator, her favorite activity is exploring tide pools, although sketching insects and wildflowers (or just about anything else) is a close second. Her first book with Heyday, <i>Fylling’ s Illustrated Guide to Pacific Coast Tide Pools</i>, has sold over 11,000 copies since its publication in 2015.
