Russ Ronat is an artist and the creator of Project Holocene. The project has been shown at zoos, science, and art museums around the world. The project focuses on large mixed media paintings of endangered animals. The artist also creates projected films that show the steps of the drawings in creation. The goal of the project is to use art as a tool to bring attention to many environmental issues facing land and marine animals. Climate change, ocean pollution, habitat loss, and poaching are amongst the many issues that are causing the current mass extinction of many species. The works are mixed media and aim to capture the beauty and fragility of the species represented. Depicted below are a hawksbill sea turtle, a chimpanzee, an African elephant, and a projected drawing from the National Taiwan Science Education Center of a Eurasian Otter.
