ABOUT THIS PIECE
The rugged but beautiful terrain of the South Texas chaparral will often reveal surprises and night with blooming cacti. These flowers will in turn attract wildlife such as pollinating moths. This art piece hopes to share the importance of native biodiversity.

Ariel is a local artist from Mission, TX. As a master naturalist and preservationist, her works include a colorful, whimsical representation of landscapes. The goal is to reveal the symbiotic relationships between all creatures, including humans.
