Join us for a fireside chat at Kay Contemporary Art on 600 Canyon Road. Artist Sienna Van Slooten will be exhibiting her detailed graphite on paper drawings.
Her work is referenced from dozens of photographs of each species to capture what a photograph can’t always depict; the way it moves, interacts, and characteristics that Sienna relates too. She reads articles and researches habitats, characteristics, how an animal interacts with its ecosystem, all to get to the true essence of the animal. Her linework and expressions spark curiosity and recognition.

Sienna speaks of her need to protect the smaller and misunderstood prey animals. She feels they will not receive the same protection as other animals because they are seen as pests.
