About this Speaker
Nature is Ardelle’s artistic muse. Her life is colored by evolutionary change, as is her art. Her deep connectivity to nature started as a child and continues to be inspired by the natural wonders of Puerto Rico, where she first learned how to connect with the trees of El Yunque Rainforest and the raw elements of nature.
