Bio and contact information for Meg Stalcup - Illustration and Design

If you would like to contact me for freelance work or regarding use of my images, please write to megstalcup@hotmail.com

I am a freelance illustrator based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I graduated from UC San Diego with a B.S. in Ecology, Behavior and Evolution and then did fieldwork in ethnobotany in Rio de Janeiro, for which I received an M.S. in Biological Sciences from the Museu Nacional, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. I began illustrating in Brazil and subsequently completed the Science Illustration Program at UC Santa Cruz. I currently divide my time between freelance illustration (mostly photography) and the Joint Program in Medical Anthropology (Critical Studies of Medicine, Science and the Body) at UC Berkeley and UCSF. I do academic work with the Laboratory for the Anthropology of the Contemporary and have recently begun making short films.

For the last couple of years I have done scientific and commercial illustration using a variety of media. Clients include: American Museum of Natural History, Dept. of Vertebrate Paleontology; California Academy of Sciences, Dept. of Botany; McGraw-Hill; Scholastic books through GTS Publishing Company; Center for Agroecology, University of California at Santa Cruz; U.S. Department of Patents through Tom Giesler; Caduceus Institute of Classical Homeopathy; New Leaf Treatment Center; SeahorseMarine.com; Anthropology Today; Caveat Press; and the Center for Latin American Studies at UC Berkeley. I also did exhibit development and special projects for the UC Berkeley Library Graphics Dept. If you're local, check out art and exhibit work at the Free Speech Movement Cafe, on the UCB campus.
