Wildflowers, Watercolor & Wonder: The Edward Stuhl Collection on exhibit at the Gateway Science Museum February - May 2020

Edward Stuhl (1887 –1984) was a Hungarian-born hiker and painter who settled in the Mount Shasta region in the early 20th century after traveling throughout Germany, eastern Europe, and Mexico. Stuhl spent much of his life hiking and camping throughout northern California and Mt. Shasta. He carried with him a pack full of paintbrushes and canvases, documenting the flora he encountered through watercolor paintings that are still used by naturalists as visual guides to northern California wildflowers.
