Justin Shepherd
I created the When They Are Gone art project to visualize the impact of biodiversity loss. Evidence has shown that we are in the midst of a sixth mass-extinction event. Currently, we know very little about the majority of species with which we share the planet. Consequently, many endangered species do not receive the necessary protection to prevent their extinction.
Art has been a passion of mine since an early age, and I realized that my favorite subject material was the natural world. By the time I graduated college, I had become proficient at oil, watercolor, and acrylic painting. At the same time, I traveled around the world to observe the world’s rich biodiversity. Some of my most memorable expeditions occurred in the Amazon rainforest, where I observed some of the most rare and unique species on Earth. Quite surprisingly, we have almost no information on classifying the species found in the rainforest, let alone understanding their life cycle. Conservation efforts of the rainforest and other threatened biodiversity hotspots have gained much-needed public attention in the past decade. However, it is still difficult to visualize the impact of extinction, which I hope to make easier with the development of this project.
Justin has a B.S. in Biology and a minor biochemistry from Texas State University.
Swapna Shepherd
Swapna Shepherd is a wildlife artist based in Austin, Texas and the creator of the "Far Into The Amazon" Art Series. Growing up as a child in Pune, India, Swapna took an early interest in art, creating cards and caricatures. What began as casual creations soon cultivated into structured works of landscapes and portraits. After receiving her M.Sc in environmental science from Pune University, Swapna aligned her art with her love for the natural world and her passion and desire to preserve the environment, Today, Swapna is focused on conservation art. Her new art series "Far into the Amazon" is an effort to raise awareness of the diverse creatures we could lose to habitat loss and other human activities. These include organisms that are found only in the most remote areas of the planet.
