Caroline Honas is an artist from the prairie currently residing in Kansas City, Kansas. Honas graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2022 with a BFA in painting and a minor in social practice. Interested in the intersection between art and science, her practice explores the concept of interdependence by drawing parallels between ecological– specifically, botanical– phenomena and the human experience. All flora that she depicts within her compositions are based on specimens encountered while existing and working within the land. Honas uses her studio practice to synthesize, contextualize, and meditate on knowledge learned from those (both plantae and people) who cultivate and form community in the great plains.
