The idea for Bug Under Glass happened while Kevin was working among the 14 million insect specimens in the California Academy of Science’s entomology department. He was amazed by the extensive and incredible insect collections but disappointed this amazing collection was behind closed doors and the general public could not freely witness and learn about them. Upon learning that he could obtain museum quality specimens in an ethical and environmentally friendly way, while at the same time educating others about insects - a new craft business was formed to express his creativity.
Bug Under Glass is proud to be the first and only
GREEN CERTIFIED insect display business in the country.
Besides insects, Kevin has lived in London, Belgium, Italy and South Africa and his travels have taken him to over 30 countries in search of old maps, odd culture and artesian beers. His insect art wishes to restore a sense of wonder about the natural world and showcase the beauty that lives among us. He believes if more people are able to witness, learn (and sometimes laugh) about the natural world, the more likely they will take steps to preserve it.
