Project Title: Celebrate Nature!

Location: University + Tillotson

Project Statement: Stop and smell the flowers. Nature surrounds us and when we allow ourselves to pause, we can enjoy and appreciate the little things, both big and small. These little creatures symbolize peace and harmony in the natural world of Indiana. May it be so. As a resident in the Kenmore Neighborhood, I enjoy and encourage nature in my gardens. This brings joy to many as they stroll, run or drive by. With this project, I seek to enhance the circle of joy and celebrate the natural world within our community.

Artist Bio: I am a biological illustrator, nature advocate, and educator. Nature’s complex beauty continues to amaze and inspire me. I strive to convey an awareness and knowledge about science and nature through art. I hope to encourage others to appreciate, protect and cherish nature’s beauty, large and small.
