The Coral Reef Project is a mixed media exhibition with a unique sculptural installation that demonstrates the fragility of coral and its ecosystem. Based on research into various species of coral, the exhibition includes paintings, 50 individual coral sculptures creating a living coral reef, and plaster relief sculptures to represent bleached coral. An actual aquarium with living coral will be showcased in the gallery as well.

The exhibition is designed to show the diversity of coral species; demonstrate the fragility of the coral reef; educate the public about coral and its habitat, show the connection of science to art; explain the importance of research in the artistic process; utilize art for environmental awareness; and inspire students to create art that fosters critical thinking.
