I'm so excited to have my art up in the Wild and Scenic Film Festival art show! This piece is a monster watercolor about Dendroctonus Ponderosae, the Mountain Pine Beetle, which is wreaking havoc in my new county - but interestingly is part of a healthy forest ecosystem in non-drought/non-climate change times. I just think this little beetle says a lot about our future and how we ought to handle it. The beetle in the painting is surrounded by a representation of its gallery, or tunnels burrowed in to the wood.
