ABOUT THE ART
Sienna Van Slooten’s artwork focuses on highlighting the hidden beauty within the natural world. She strives for her work to bring more awareness to the growing impact that climate change is having on the planet’s ecosystems. Sienna wants much of her work to serve as a lasting record of species that may be entering their final century on earth. The subject matter of her work covers a wide range, from depictions of single species to complex relationships between two or more species that depend on one another for survival. Both types of work ask the viewer to spend time exploring the nuances in the small details of her work, and thus of the subject matter in real life.
