First Blue Nocturne

Richard Senerchia: "I wrote three Blue Nocturnes during the pandemic lockdown, to express the mood I felt of 'troubled quietude' - unstressed but uneasy at the same time. I feel this same mood when I contemplate climate change - a sense of being trapped in a slow moving but very real crisis." https://soundcloud.com/user-370908568/first-blue-nocturne-922

Wissahickon Schist Geology 1

Rangeley Schist Two

Kinsman Granodiorite

Rebecca Schultz: "My work is a reflection of my reverence for the interconnectedness of the web of life and a desire to move others to more deeply witness the natural world.

Green New Deal

Peggy Hartzell: "Having lived in rural Northern Chester County outside of Philadelphia for more than forty years, certain trees, streams, and viewscapes have become old friends. Landscapes are the commons we share with the eyes of the ancestors and hopefully with good caretaking with the new eyes of the future generations. I like to be a witness to this through my art work and photography."

Birch Goddess

Carrie Barcomb: "Experiencing our environment as fluid, organic and ever-changing energy, I work to transcend representation, weaving poetic patterns of line and color into imaginative soulful landscapes. Developing harmonious compositions representing a language of feminist landscape aestetic. I see Nature as organic phenomena which is supportive of Life, and worthy of respect and protection." www.carriebarcomb.com

Clean Up

Carrie Barcomb: "Witnessing the ongoing contamination of our waterways motivated me to create this piece, representing a girl touching water as a metaphor for action." This painting called "Clean Up" is part of Carrie Barcomb's "Fire and Ice" illustration series focused on Climate Change. www.carriebarcomb.com

What's Happened Baby Girl

JoAnn Moy: "I am an artist working in Skippack, Pennsylvania. I do impressionistic landscapes as well as some abstract work. This painting symbolizing our tie to our Mother Earth, a tumultuous relationship which is similar to my own relationship with my young daughter, serves to remind us that we need to care for our planet or we may regret the outcome."

Warm Acid Bath

Ana Vizcarra Rankin: "I make art about mapping, travel, and our place in the extraordinarily complex universe, where we remain the only known living planet. I want people to feel wonder, to go outside, especially at night, and look up. I want us to plant more trees than we consume and be able to go swimming in clean water. My artwork is a representation of these desires in a language that I understand better than words." www.avrankin.com @avrankin

Second Blue Nocturne 9.19

Earth Day 2021

Richard Cole, "It was with a growing sense of awareness of the direction we are headed, what has become a climate crisis, that I became involved with the environmental movement. I turn to my artwork as a way of centering myself, calming the mind and celebrating Earths majestic beauty. Sometimes I integrate into my scenes elements of damage to the environment caused by human activity, eliciting the sense of urgency of action needed to meet the changes we face."
