Wyatt Hersey is a Santa Cruz based artist with a practice rooted in illustration, painting, and muralism. His work explores narratives of relational ecology and ecological consciousness while instilling a sense of playfulness, mutualism, and vitality in the viewer. His background as a wildlife biologist and nature connection mentor greatly informs his work as a visual artist, as does his belief that art is an essential expression of the goodness of humanity.
