Works by JHS

April 11th 2022 – May 6th 2022
The Fine Arts Department presents an exhibition of works by Jessica “Heidi” Stoker. Jessica “Heidi” Stoker obtained a fine art degree from Colorado State University, along with a minor in art history and a certificate in women’s studies. As a multimedia artist, she is concerned with the evolution of a piece of art and believes that art has a life of its own. A single piece of her work is intended to change over time through her application of differing media, including but not limited to hand collected and created pigments and patination. Stoker’s paintings focus on the female figure displayed in self-defining expressions of beauty, as a way of imposing a wider discussion about beauty itself.

Title: Impact of invasion by annual grasses on mycorrhizal inoculation potential in the Palouse Prairie.

Abstract: The Palouse Prairie is one of the most critically endangered ecosystems in the United States, with less than 1% of native prairie remaining. The native prairie that remains today is increasingly threatened by land-use change and invasive species. The invasive winter annual grass Ventenata dubia has become a dominant threat to native prairie remnants, as it decreases native plant species diversity and native plant species richness. Although we have seen the effects of V. dubia on native plant communities since its introduction in the 1950’s, the impact V. dubia may have on soil microbial communities such as arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is not known. My graduate work has focused on understanding the impact that V. dubia invasion has, if any, on AM fungi in the Palouse Prairie.
