The Creature Conserve Mentorship Program is a support system for artists, designers, scientists, and writers as they collaborate and explore the human connection to nature, creating new art-sci pathways to a healthier world for all creatures.

I have learned so much from this program, as both a mentee and also as a mentor. I’m happy to share that the application process for the 2024-2025 cohort has begun! This year the application will be a two-step process. Registration for the first step—a workshop that will take place in August—ends July 30, 2024. Learn more here.

Thank you to everyone who came to the reception for my show! I loved seeing people interact with the work, and I appreciated hearing new impressions, insights, and observations. The show will be up until early September at The Highlands in Wyomissing (Pennsylvania, USA).

I have been thinking a lot about collaboration lately. In your experience, what contributes to an effective collaboration?
