✨Thrilled to finally share the exhibit that I've had the honor of working on at The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel @acadnatsci.bsky.social :
"Botany of Nations: Indigenous Ecological Knowledge and the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery"

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!

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

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".

Penstemon Inflorescence and Pollen Wasps. (2026)
Watercolor and gouache on 8x10" cotton paper. Commissioned work.
It was a delight to paint this delicate botanical piece as a gift for a client’s grad school supervisor.
