At the library, I found a beautiful oversized book with paintings by botanical illustrators and natural history artists like Sydney Parkinson and John James Audubon, and was inspired by their compositions. In this exhibition, I showcase a bold new display of wild animals in their natural habitats created with a collage of colored paper torn by hand, and soft pastels for landscape backgrounds.
