Some of the works include sculptures of splashing ducks, abstract snails, Nevada’s shonisaurus, and delicate scenes of play.

Each artist was commissioned to build and exhibit an original nature-themed art piece created with environmentally friendly recycled and repurposed materials.

Artists include Dan Brady, Diane Bush, Jennifer Deveraux, Mikayla Whitemore, Mark Salinas art paired with poetry of Angela Brommel, Nancy Good, Nova May, NVArt Stops with Deborah Lambin, David Lambin and Julie Okabayahsi, Rebecca Sullinger, Shoshana Zeldner, Valentin Yordanov, Vanessa Maciel, Vezun and Wendy Armitage.
