A print portfolio is when artists get together with friends, make prints into a portfolio and all individuals that participate get a copy of everyone's work. The podcast represents visual narratives, the theme of this years atmosphere at St. Ambrose University.

The photos are printed as large-scale images – much larger than life – so that the viewer can closely examine every detail of these complex plants. We spoke with Molly at the reception for her exhibition, Fatal Flora, which ran in the Morrissey Gallery from August 14 to September 8, 2017. Music Credit: Bensound.com-Rumble & All That

Kristin Musgnug navigates the tension between our constructed ideas of nature and the actual landscape. For Musgnug, painting is approached as a process of inquiry that draws on her interests in the scientific view of nature as well as the role that nature plays in culture and the human psyche. The work in the Catich Gallery exhibition, Disturbed Ground, began in response to Albrecht Durer's 1503 watercolor drawing, Great Piece of Turf. Durer's drawing is a nature study of grasses, dandelions, plantains, and other plants growing out of a slab of earth. Music Credit: Bensound.com-Rumble & All That
