Shelby Prindaville is an interdisciplinary artist who combines science and a wide range of art disciplines to examine the human role in shaping an ecological balance and encourage a more connected and conservation-focused approach. She serves as the Art Department Chair, Galleries Director, and Professor of Art at Morningside University in Sioux City, Iowa, and she’s on the Board of Trustees for the Sioux City Art Center.

Terra Traces is composed of art pieces centered on the beautiful fragility and resilience of the natural world. Prindaville hopes viewers will interact and emotionally connect with her work and for that experience to demonstrate the joy of contemplative engagement with nature as well as provide a taste of the sorrow a disconnect with nature can bring.
