Thank you so much to @antlerpdx for the opening of “Scale and Bone” last night! The virtual tour of the show is up on their page, and there will be limited opening hours each weekend this coming month if you would like to safely view the show in person (check out their page for details). . . . Over the next few weeks I will be sharing the stories behind the drawings in this series. You can check out the full show on my website (link in profile). . . . In this 34” x 43” piece “Black Pine Snake,” three species of birds that breed in Longleaf Pine forests and use snakeskin to construct their nests raise their young in the skeleton of a Threatened Black Pine Snake. The birds from top to bottom are: Carolina Wren, Great Crested Flycatcher (depicted as a nest and eggs), and Blue Grosbeak. This is one of three drawings in my show “Scale and Bone” that is centered around Longleaf Pine forest species. Longleaf Pine forests once covered 90 million acres in the Southeast, stretching from Virginia to Florida, and west into eastern Texas. Today, only three percent of the original forest remains, lost to hundreds of years of commercial logging, fire suppression, the conversion of forest to urban development and livestock grazing, and the replanting of forests with faster growing species of pine. These rich forests are dominated by their namesake Longleaf Pine, an evergreen conifer that grows 80 to 100 feet (24 to 30 meters) tall and has leaves that can grow up to 18 inches (46 centimeters) long. But there is much more to these forests than Pinus palustris; mature Longleaf Pine savannas can contain up to 40 species of plants, making them one of the most diverse plant communities on the globe. Even in their fragmented state, remaining stands of Longleaf Pine forest harbor almost 200 species of birds and hundreds of animal species. More than 30 of these species are endangered and threatened, including two species of snakes that have been designated as Threatened at the federal level: the Eastern Indigo Snake and Black Pine Snake. Although it has not yet received federal designation, the fate of the Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake [continued in comments]

The artist has always been fascinated by snakes “because they elicit such a strong response in so many people,” as she told This is Colossal. Her art is her way to send the message about the destruction of ecosystems and the biodiversity we’re losing. “Through the use of visual narratives that are interjected with surreal and magical elements, I hope to allow the species in my drawings to speak with urgency to the forces causing their decline in this time of human-driven mass extinction,” Keller says.

Her work is currently on display at Antler Gallery in Portland and you available as a virtual tour so you can see it from anywhere in the world. Join 115k other people who follow Keller on Instagram to get updates about her work and enjoy her unique art.
