In her presentation, Thalden will share how art can be used as a tool to both learn about the natural world and encourage environmental stewardship. She will also touch on the philosophy and creative process presented in her recently published book, The Insect Artist: How to Observe Draw and Paint Butterflies, Bees, and More (Timber Press, March 2024).
As an artist, educator, and author, Thalden celebrates biological diversity and the inter connectivity between humans and other species.
