KETCHIKAN, Alaska (AP) — As its name implies, the new exhibit at the Ketchikan Area Arts and Humanities Council Main Street Gallery pairs art and science to produce educational material that also is beautiful enough to hang on the wall.

Artist Jennifer Kane has worked professionally as a scientific illustrator, using her skill with watercolors to create detailed images for field guides, textbooks and museums. She came to Ketchikan from Washington, D.C., two years ago for U.S. Forest Service fellowship, which is about to end, and said she wanted to share her artistic exploration of the area with the community before going back to D.C.
