About the Author
A childhood spent among sailors and fishermen on the rocky Maine coast gave HANNAH VIANO an early introduction to the wonders of coastal flora and fauna. A decade as an outdoor educator, with teaching and adventures from Ketchikan to Cape Horn, added the joy of sharing her knowledge and sense of place with others. Now, as an artist and illustrator living in Seattle, she strives to mix natural history and art together in accessible ways, through public art projects, education, and site-specific installations. She received a 2012 Seattle CityArtist grant, and continues to show her work around the Northwest and beyond. The author lives in Seattle, WA.
