Amy McMahon graduated with a B.S. in Biological Science from Colorado State University, where her studies were focused on insects and ecology.
Since 2009, she has worked in the field of aquatic biology, where she has had the opportunity to not only increase her knowledge and skill set, be work in an environmental field she is passionate about.
Because Amy encounters aquatic macroinvertebrates on a daily basis, she is continually building on her insect identification skills. She is also currently a Society of Freshwater Science certified taxonomist in both the Western EPT (Ephemeroptera, Plectoptera, Trichoptera) and Western Chironomidae taxa groups.
Amy currently lives in Fort Collins, Colorado where she looks forward to fishing, snowboarding, and hiking with her dog, Rio, when she’s not busy working on art.
“My background in Biology and Entomology have not only developed my interest in artistic renderings of insects, but increased my knowledge of the details required to create accurate portrayals of these unique and intricate subjects.”
