Slaughter Art
Artist Statement
Sara Engman-Slaughter is an artist, illustrator, and freelance graphic/web designer working out of Kalamazoo, MI. As an artist, she likes to dabble and experiment in many different art forms and styles. Her most current work concerns the environment around her and the animal inhabitants of it. She would say her latest style grew organically from painting in the environment, plein aire style. As she became more curious about the landscape around her, having spent a great amount of time suspending myself within it, she became more and more aware of the animal inhabitants not typically captured in the plein aire style. She began to study the nature of the Great Lakes
region, becoming fascinated by the sheer biodiversity that she was only marginally aware of
before. This latest work attempts to capture that fascination, to show the nature of the Great
Lakes region in all of its finery, and bring awareness not just to the beauty that surrounds us, but
the perils in which it finds itself.
