Original Art by Olivia Di Gregorio

Drawn from the artist’s private collection, this is the sole preparatory study for ‘Carnivore Among the Sundew’ — a pivotal work published in Beautiful Bizarre Magazine and awarded a finalist position in their annual Art Prize. The piece also marks Di Gregorio’s first foray into carnivorous plants, consuming systems, and concepts of survivalism shaped in part by their lived experience as a former caregiver to their disabled partner.
