John Muir Laws, aka Jack, is a principal leader and innovator of the worldwide nature journaling movement. Jack is an award-winning naturalist, artist, scientist, and educator who has dedicated four decades of his life to connecting people to nature through art and science. From an early age, his parents instilled in him a deep love and respect for nature. Over the years, that love has grown to a commitment to stewardship, nature conservation, and a passion to share the delight of exploring nature with others. As a writer, scientist, and artist, Jack has developed numerous interdisciplinary educational programs that train students to observe with rigor and to refine techniques to become intentionally curious. He is the author and illustrator of several books, including The Laws Guide to Nature Drawing and Journaling (also available in Spanish), The Laws Sketchbook for Nature Journaling, The Laws Guide to Drawing Birds, The Laws Field Guide to Sierra Birds, Sierra Wildflowers: A Hiker’s Guide, and The Laws Guide to the Sierra Nevada.
