    This exhibit features pieces she has painted throughout the last year, including plants and wildlife from the Kanawha County in West Virginia the Great Smoky Mountains, and the country of Jordan, she said.

    A buckeye bud comes into focus.

    "These pieces document the period of my life where I came to fully understand that there is wonder and mystery in even the tiniest, most overlooked aspects of nature,” Haizlett said. “And the more time we take to study and appreciate these wonders, the more gratitude we will cultivate within ourselves.”

    A West Virginia illustrator with a focus on the natural world, Haizlett was awarded the 2016-2017 Tamarack Foundation for the Arts Emerging Artist Fellowship alongside Fairmont ceramicist Hannah Lenhart.
