Stockert art: Balanced Ecosystem
Stockert describes her approach on rebeccastockert.com: “My work explores our world through narrative illustration; topics that interest me include feminism, sustainability, environmentalism, and the lives of cats. I often use nature imagery as a springboard for exploring these ideas, especially the natural flora and fauna of the Midwest. As well, I enjoy using imagery from popular culture for reference and for the sake of humor.”
The USF Alumni Association sponsors the exhibit. For more information, contact Gallery Director Justin Johnson at jljohnson@sf.edu.
