Their research-based practice has been awarded with support in the form of grants, residencies, and presentations in Iceland, Turkey, Spain, Mexico, Italy and most recently, Athens, Greece and Cyprus. Exhibited widely through the USA and globally, their work addresses the climate crisis through myth, spirituality, and more-than-human perspectives.

Beavers’ work on deep sea mining was recently included in the Getty’s 2024 PST Art + Science Collide as part of Transformative Currents: Art and Action in the Pacific Ocean curated by Cassandra Coblentz and Aaron Katzeman. In 2025 their anamorphic animation Sundown was commissioned by the Moving Image Media Arts (MIMA) Program of West Hollywood to premiere on The Now 3D Billboard overlooking Sunset Boulevard. Through artistic practice, teaching, and curating, they foster communities of care and experimentation, inviting audiences to sense the unseen and imagine futures of resilience.
