We have a special guest staying with us this summer! We are excited to welcome Debby Kaspari, our first summer Artist-in Residence at the Bio Station.
Debby is an Oklahoma-based artist and illustrator of landscapes and wildlife, working primarily in pastel and oil, as well as drawing in graphite and mixed media. She has exhibited nationally and internationally and most recently illustrated E.O. Wilson’s book Genesis: The Deep Origin of Societies. Debby has painted and sketched in field stations around the world and was awarded Residencies for Harvard Forest in Massachusetts, H.J.Andrews Experimental Forest in Oregon, and Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve in California. She is married to ecologist and University of Oklahoma professor Mike Kaspari, another field station aficionado.
For the next month, Debby will be staying on-site at Yellow Bay, where she will have the opportunity to engage with our scientists and integrate our research into her incredible artwork. Debby’s residency is generously funded by Bio Station supporters who are Yellow Bay neighbors and want to foster art at FLBS. Stay tuned to our website and social media for updates on Debby's residency!
