Marika Jaeger
Lives in Manhattan, New York.
Marika grew up in the wooded hills of Eugene, Oregon. A childhood spent traveling and exploring the outdoors led her to study environmental sustainability and conservation in college and graduate school. Passionate about wildlife and wild ecosystems, she was conducting ecology research in the Peruvian Amazon when she began to photograph the magnificent threatened species there. Returning home, she decided to paint them as a means of sharing an environmental conservation message.
A self-taught artist, Marika divides her time between environmental research at Stanford University and painting. She focuses her painting projects on threatened wildlife and social justice issues. She hopes to instill awe and empathy for her subjects and inspire action in her audience.
