Woodpecker Series by Ariana Rose Palmisano
Ariana and Mike say, “In this show we want to bring together the beauty of Art and the wondrous world of Nature that surrounds us in our daily lives. Our experience tells us that local knowledge of the natural world or “reclaiming nature literacy” may be a strong component in the foundation of literacy itself. Most of our inspiration comes from the actual experience of these creatures on their terms, in their homes, and right outside our door.”
