It’s a truly amazing show, and I came away so inspired. You have got to go see it! I met so many cool nature artists, and the rainbow boa who lives at the museum even popped their head up to check things out. Just dropped off a goodie bag of prints and cards to the @santacruzmuseum gift shop! You’ll be able to shop these for the duration of The Art of Nature show.
