Definitely: thanks to Dan for pointing her out to the list.  I'd already
encountered her work through teaching about Pleistocene North American
mammal faunas for a class (I've done a PowerPoint animation showing her
sketch of the Pleistocene megafaun present when the first humans arrived,
then cross out the ones that have died out since and the ones who are
regionally extirpated in the U.S. and Canada).

Nice to see that artists are tackling paleofauna other than dinosaurs!
