Chantel Traub - Flower Power 2025
A significant portion of my work focuses on endangered species, and increasingly, my art practice is intertwined with my garden. While researching endangered plants, I came across the rare Western Blue Flag Iris, which is considered threatened in Alberta. I have enjoyed growing this beautiful flower in my garden, and I hope to raise awareness about the importance of protecting prairie grasslands so that this stunning species can continue to thrive in our ecosystem.

Using natural dyes, she creates rich hand-drawn designs with painterly techniques. She draws imagery from our environment, architecture, and history.
