Gurche is currently an Artist in Residence at the Museum of the Earth in Ithaca, New York.[1][2] Gurche studied Anthropology and Paleontology at the University of Kansas, but his study of art was limited to his days in middle school.[3] Also while in middle school, Gurche attempted to create a "family tree for all animal life," and fashioned an evolutionary series of heads from clay while in fourth grade.[2] Gurche's works have been on display at the American Museum of Natural History, the Field Museum of Natural History, and the Smithsonian Institution. He has created illustrations for National Geographic,[4] and designed a set of four dinosaur-themed stamps that were released by the US Postal Service in 1989.[5] Due to his paintings of dinosaurs, Gurche was given a role as a consultant for the movie Jurassic Park.[2] In 2000, he received the Lanzendorf PaleoArt Prize from the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology for his mural of Sue the Tyrannosaurus, a piece which accompanies the dinosaur's skeleton at the Field Museum.[6] In 2013 he published a book detailing his work on the fifteen paleoanthropology projects he had completed for the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History's Hall of Human Origins titled Shaping Humanity: How Science, Art and Imagination Help Us Understand Our Origins .[7] Much of the book discusses the uncertainty of his work and his field.[2] References1. ^{{Cite web|url = http://www.museumoftheearth.org/about.php?page=dir_staff|title = Staff Directory, Museum of the Earth|date = 2014|accessdate = October 17, 2014|website = Museum of the Earth|publisher = |last = |first = }} 2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|last1=Wright|first1=Chris|title=John Gurche, hominid sculptor|url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/ideas/2013/11/03/john-gurche-hominid-sculptor/8fVd8dsBuoOV3IX1as5iSM/story.html|website=bostonglobe.com|publisher=The Boston Globe|accessdate=9 March 2015}} 3. ^{{Cite news|url = http://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2014-10-16-looking-on-the-past-the-artistry-and-science-of-john-gurche/#.VEFKCeek0y4|title = Looking on the past: The artistry and science of John Gurche|last = Spector|first = J Brooks|date = October 16, 2014|work = Daily Maverick|accessdate = October 17, 2014}} 4. ^Diana L.
