About the Author
Established in 1846, The Smithsonian Institution is the world's largest museum and research complex, dedicated to public education, national service, and scholarship in the arts, sciences and history. It includes 19 museums and galleries and the National Zoological Park. The total number of artifacts, works of art and specimens in the Smithsonian's collection is estimated at 156 million. Rachel Curtis grew up drawing and painting from a young age, leading to a lifetime of having far, far too many art supplies. She uses them to make pictures of a great variety of things, from very small to very big. She grew up in Alberta, Canada, just a couple hours drive from Dinosaur Provincial Park. You can find her online at www.instagram.com/catinspats/ (or the same on Twitter) where she does occasionally draw cats in spats.
