The Guest 🐞 -Don't be fooled by their common name! Ladybugs are beetles (Order: Coleoptera) & not true bugs (Order: Hemiptera). -Mouthparts can be a helpful ID tool. True bugs possess a straw-like "stylet" to feed, where beetles have mandibles for chewing food like this unfortunate aphid. 🪲🪳🐡🎨

Finally, I want to acknowledge these folks in particular, who offered ample guidance and support at every step of the painting process. Go check out the exhibit!

Earlier this year, I was asked to paint seven life-size plant sculptures for the Botany of Nations exhibit. The exhibit brought together an incredible group of artists, scientists & Indigenous historians to share rich botanical knowledge known long before Western colonizers claimed "discovery".

Collaborating on Botany of Nations has been so rewarding and humbling. I hope you have a chance to see this immersive multi-sensory exhibit it in person. 💚

They cannot terrorize us into submission. We will protect our vibrant communities. We will fight back. Abolish ICE! 🐡🪳🪲🎨
