Hello everyone!
Hello, and welcome to my archaeological Illustration page!
My name is Robyn Lacy, and I'm an archaeology student at the University of Calgary.
I'm currently finishing my second year of the program, and am off to work as an illustrator for a field school / excavation and survey project for 6 weeks this summer.
Since deciding to become involved in archaeological illustration as a career path, I have had two commissioned pieces, from profs at the U of C, for publication. Both of these pieces were from photographs, and one involved recreating the illustration on a vessel from the Mesoamerican city of Cholula as the only available photo had terrible glare destroying part of the image (and was from 1908)
The image below was part of a project I did at a field school last summer, with Dr. Harold Mytum. I was doing a watercolour of the re-opened trenches.
