About the event
This exhibition combines whimsical narrative portraits with scientific discovery. Each watercolor portrait is a native North Carolina animal paired with a native plant found in that animal’s environment. Each species is rendered with identifying characteristics as well as expressive character development. "The Whimsical Naturalist" is a engaging world that people can step into! A world where nature's wonders and realities are emphasized through anthropomorphism, shifting perspectives and scientific knowledge. I hope people will walk in, smile, learn and leave thinking about how we are connected to our environment and each other.
