Xander Weaver-Scull

I am passionate about creating non-didactic, inspiring artwork of threatened and endangered species that cannot to speak on their own behalf. Through the use of freehand-drawn and cut stencils, watercolor, and homemade inks and paints from natural pigments, I bring attention to the impact humans are having on the Earth’s other inhabitants.

Creating each piece is a slow process, from research, to the initial drawing, to cutting out the stencil and painting it onto paper. This time gives me the opportunity to “hang out” with my subject. To witness it from a state of awe, attempt to see all its intricate majesty, think about its life, its joys and hardships.
