Artist & Climate Change Activist
I am an artist focused on creating large scale landscapes that convey the urgency of climate change.
I consider it my life’s mission to convey the urgency of climate change through my work. I have traveled north to the Arctic to capture the unfolding story of polar melt, and south to the Equator to document subsequent rising seas. On these trips, I take a lot of photographs and get inspiration. I use these images as guides. On a large canvas, I grid out sections that correspond to parts of the photo and then begin painting using pastels.
