Upcoming Exhibits

Artists for millennia have reflected upon nature as the inspiration and subject of their work. Our affiliation with animals, plants, and the wild spaces of our world is defined as ‘biophilia,’ or love for living things. Participating artists in Biophilia look to scenes both intimate and overarching for an understanding of the elemental forces beyond man’s knowledge. They point to the power of the earth’s resources, and our need to comprehend their use and power. Other artists in Biophilia turn to animals for their symbolic and cultural resonance. The simple practice of painting en plein air, directly in natural environments, offers a continuing record of our need to capture the ephemeral beauty of landscapes that skirt our largely urban existence.
