Paying Attention

Artwork by Grace Gaard

September 7 – October 31

Grace Gaard is a native of Omaha, Nebraska who enjoys sharing her love of all things nature through her artwork. Nebraska’s landscapes and species continue to inspire her various works, and the more she explores the more she hopes to create. These pieces of art come to life with gouache, watercolor, acrylic paint, pen, graphite and more. Grace’s goals as an artist and an outdoor educator include inspiring her community to experience awe by spending time in nature and using that wonder to conserve biodiversity in our landscapes.

Paying Attention is a call to all of us to notice the natural world, from the vastness of a sprawling landscape to the minute movements of an insect resting on a blade of grass.
