Emily Robinson, a Northern California artist known for her depictions of insects and wildlife inhabiting the American West, created the illustrations featured on this series of buttons (2019.0150.01-.17). Viewed individually or as a group, her buttons are meant to celebrate the beauty and range of Earth’s biodiversity.
