Artist Statement

Jellyfish, otherworldly and dreamlike, are reminders of the incredible forms life takes in our oceans. Earth’s waters have been host to jellyfish for at least 500 million years, and today there are nearly 4000 identified species of jellies. While so many marine creatures stand to be lost during the sixth mass extinction, certain adaptable jellyfish species are flourishing in polluted, oxygen-deprived, and warming waters, with less fear of predation and supplies of zooplankton made more plentiful by overfishing. Jellyfish ‘blooms’ or ‘outbreaks’ are symptoms of oceans desperately out of balance, beautiful and haunting reminders that so much needs to be done to preserve the biodiversity of all ocean life.

Artist Bio

A Woodstock, New York native, Zoe Keller's creative upbringing in the rural Catskills shaped her future as an artist and amateur naturalist. After graduating from the Maryland Institute College of Art, Keller made homes and studios in Minneapolis, Philadelphia, on the rocky Maine coast, in West Michigan's farm country, Eastern Oregon's Wallowa Mountains, and in Portland, Oregon, where she currently resides. Keller uses graphite and Procreate to create large-scale, meticulously rendered visual narratives. Placing a special focus on at-risk species and wildlands, Keller weaves drawings that explore the interconnectedness of fragile, vanishing ecosystems. By highlighting the biodiversity at risk in the Anthropocene her work aims to inspire reverence for the natural world and action to defend what we have left.d
