Critters of the Gunks
Carly's senior project at SUNY New Paltz was inspired by animals that live in the Shawangunk mountain range. Carly is working on developing her project into a small business that sells tee shirts, pillows and other items adorned with the artistic renderings of various animals that inhabit this mountain range. The goal is to celebrate the biodiversity of the region and the beauty of the GUnks through illustration, education and charity. With every purchase made, money will be given back to charities to help protect the Gunks. The images below are just some of the illustrations Carly created for her project.
