Contemporary Artists for Kids: Stephanie Kilgast

Stephanie Kilgast is a contemporary sculptor and painter who depicts the natural world and humankind's effect on our environment. Since 2017, her Discarded Objects series, uses discarded objects, to which she applies sculpted animals, plant life and insects that seem to consume and overtake the trash. "Her work has a cheerful post-apocalyptic feel to it, a reassuring reminder that nature has the capacity to grow back, if we only let it."
