Artist Statement Lost in the fire Acrylic and charcoal on wood panel My piece is about everything that will be lost if we continue to do nothing about the climate crisis. I tried to imagine what the future would look like.  

Artist Statement Exhaust Colored pencil and pastel on paper My piece shows a car driving along the road. Within the exhaust is all of the things we might lose if we don’t stop polluting.  

Artist Statement We are not over Acrylic and paper on panel I wanted this piece to be an abstract version of our future. I wanted it to look toxic and radioactive, but I wanted the phrase “we are not over” to contrast with that and give people hope.  

Artist Statement If we burn, you burn with us Acrylic on canvas This painting represents the destruction that pollution will cause if actions are not taken to improve our future.  

Artist Statement Greed Kills Watercolor, ink, and pencil on canvas This piece represents the deforestation that is happening to fuel human industry and greed, specifically in Sumatra. The painting depicts an orangutan and the Sumatran elephants who are both heavily affected by this, as are many other species. This is the present, and it will worsen in the future if change is not made.  

Artist Statement Smog Child Clay/Ceramics Our kids will know a different Earth.  

Artist Statement Tiempo Acrylic on canvas The earth is slowly being destroyed. Our plants are dying; our atmosphere is dying, our ecosystem is dying. The time to fix the mistakes previously made is slipping, providing less and less of it as we continue our deadly and toxic ways. The clock was the main focus of this piece originally, but as I kept adding things, I found that I enjoyed the hidden details in the background and little parts of it. I wanted to show the hope that we should all have in the upper left corner. The hope is that…

Artist Statement Beneath The Surface Acrylic on canvas board We as humans underestimate the damage that we are capable of inflicting on the Earth, especially our ocean. The ocean is so important to me in many ways. 80 percent of life on Earth is found in the ocean. Even in one of the deepest parts of the ocean, scientists found trash at a depth of 10,975 meters inside the Mariana Trench. We need to work harder to protect our beautiful ocean and marine life.  

Artist Statement Ecological Travel Transportation is a big contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, and we can look for more environmentally friendly alternatives. I drew a man on his way to work, who understands that his solution is better than the traditional cars, but the people find him strange and treat him like a clown. It’s funny to realize that the “less evolved” form of transportation is better in some aspects than the one developed for the last 100 years. Maybe one day we will see the people of tomorrow doing their daily chores on wild animals like before cars were…

Artist Statement An iIl Mother As pollution is one of the world's biggest evolving problems, it's time more people took notice of how it has affected our world and how it has destroyed nature. In this piece specifically, Mother Nature. The piece's purpose is to take a figurative approach to how pollution has made mother nature sick and weak, unable to fight the amounts flowing in. I hope for this piece to evoke an emotional connection to the Earth and nature and how we've left it to wither and die.
