About the artist: Keith Boggs grew up primarily in Utah drawing dinosaurs and the Peanuts comic strip characters. He moved to Montana for college and graduate school majoring in Ecology. He worked in Alaska and Montana in the fields of biological weed control, wetland science and ecosystem succession, ending his last 20 years as the Director of the Alaska Center for Conservation Science at the University of Alaska Anchorage. During these years he spent every summer doing field work across Alaska and Montana and was often based out of Native American villages.

Upon retiring he resurrected his art skills. Through his work as an Ecologist he had always observed vegetation and animals in relation to soil and geology. His artwork, consequently, includes the entire ecosystem. He tried to find examples of below-ground art but only found paintings of caves or floating lands such as in the Flash Gordon television series but nothing that met his concept of soil and geology. He, consequently, came up with his own below-ground artwork using rocks, roots and sand that he has hauled into his studio.
