"Tiny Wonders"
with Alix Lukas
UW Arboretum Steinhauer Trust Gallery: March 1 - May 3, 2019
As natural science illustrators with a focus on entomology, our work engages viewers with the insect world around them, bringing to light concepts and creatures that are often not easily visible. Our aim is to overcome the general aversion to insects and inspire curiosity about these fascinating creatures, revealing hidden colors and sculptural beauty to foster an appreciation in the small and unexpected. These paintings are the lens through which we provide a glimpse into an often-overlooked world, celebrating the rewards that come from slowing down and stopping for a closer look.
Many insects have a marvelous metamorphic life cycle, and some of these works highlight the connection between a familiar adult insect and the larval form that may look completely alien. Through this change they find a new place in the world, and inspire thoughts of new adventures and looking ahead to what the future may hold. We are glad to showcase this important part of the ecosystem and share our delight in entomological discovery.
