Welcome to CottageofAcademia

An art studio with works made just for those who care way too much about the texture of frogs, the lore of rare sea creatures, and the species most artists skip. It’s part science and part magic.

A habitat of scientific and fantasy work, painted in watercolor and acrylic gouache, with enough research behind it to hold up in a lab or a curious imagination.

This is an artist’s archive of natural subjects, both real and speculative. You weren’t supposed to find this, but now that you have, explore what’s been hiding in this unique environment.
