Madeleine Wenger
Recently graduated from Cornell University where I earned a BA in archaeology with minors in marine biology, and Spanish.
I am passionate about experiential learning, field research, community education, and scientific illustration. My art practice includes watercolors, oils, intaglio, woodblock, 35mm film and digital photography, and lots of knitting.
I have found teaching to be deeply rewarding in both artistic and scientific spaces.
