Artist of the Tallgrass Prairie

The Flint Hills of Kansas comprise a biologically diverse ecosystem that ranks second only to rain forests in number of species. Those species of the tall grass prairie deserve a voice crying out of the wilderness in order for members of the modern world to understand the endangered state of the last segment of this incredible environment. The visual arts speak a universal language that can help capture the serene beauty of the tallgrass prairie. Art of the Flint Hills reaches out to all living in, around, and away from the tallgrass prairie, arguing of the need to preserve this important ecosystem. 
The Flint Hills serve as an inspiration to me while I aspire to tell their story. It is not just their majestic, quiet beauty I wish to capture, but the hope of passing on the love we feel for this fragile ecosystem and the desire to preserve its future. ​
