This elegant rendering of a shallow emergent marsh is a original pen and ink by artist Libby Davidson. Libby has been illustrating Vermont's landscapes and wildlife for 20 years, working primarily in pen & ink and watercolor.

Her most comprehensive illustration project has been for the book Wetland, Woodland, Wildland: A Guide to the Natural Communities of Vermont, published by The Nature Conservancy of Vermont, and Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife, from which she has created a series of limited edition prints and note cards. Other books that she has illustrated include Wild Adventures: A Guidebook of Activities for Building Connections with Others and the Earth and Life in the Cold, a winter ecology textbook through University Press of New England.

Over the years, her illustrations have appeared in publications for the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources, Vermont Conservation Commission and Wild Earth magazine, among others.
