Description

Willow Sedam’s design, The Fantastic Fauna of Foco, features two of the major biomes in Fort Collins: the shortgrass prairie and the riparian area. It illustrates interconnected life, from the smallest of bugs to bison and badgers, and how they depend on each other to survive and thrive.

Willow is an emerging artist working in a multitude of media—fiber arts, ceramics, digital art and painting. She grew up catching frogs and snails in Southern California, and never fully shook the habit. Her love of nature and day job as a science educator and animal care technician find their way into her work—her passion is bringing appreciation to the most unusual and overlooked animals through her art.
