Marit Berg.

Screen Printing. I draw inspiration from patterns seen in nature. Of particular interest is how light reflects through water and creates patterns on surfaces below. My Swimmer series is about water and light and how buoyancy in water can have a meditative effect on a person.

Devoni Rose De Leon Whitehead.

Acrylic/Mixed Media. I use my art to bridge the gap between the arts and social issues, to ensure that marginalized people’s stories are not only heard, but meticulously crafted in a way that inspires community collaboration, empowerment, and solutions. It explores topics of self-love, social justice, community empowerment, and the environment.

Copper on wood. This work depicts the greed of humanity symbolized by the elephant causing Global warming and this is disrupting the water cycle and the result is climate change depicted by retreating glaciers represented by empty Kumbhs (Utensils).

Blanca Santander.

Acrylic. I portray women with nature because the ideas I have about women do not stray far from my ideas of nature. The female body and nature meet in that they harbor the beauty of the creation of life. Perhaps the most powerful culmination of the female body and nature that I portray is the Pachamama, or Mother Nature. The Pachamama is an Andean deity, so when I paint her, it is also a tether back to my roots in Peru.

Shauna Lee Lange.

Water Color/Mixed Media. Within this concentration of interdependencies, sustainability, and systems thinking, I explore and push color field theory especially in the themes of water, oceanography, coastal art, nautical art, or maritime art, but in a much more contemporary way that feels at home with bio art or eco art. The motivation is to create and illuminate pathways for scientific communication and the marriage of art and technology.

Carmi Weingrod.

Watercolor/Acrylic on Shaped Wood. I’m an art/geography hybrid whose mixed-media artwork exposes overlooked elements of the landscape to coax people into seeing the familiar with new eyes. Huge bodies of water like fjords fascinate me. I try to find fresh ways to capture their profound depth, the complexity of their edges, and the way they reinvent themselves in response to light, wind and tides.

Alicia Beatty

Acrylic/Watercolor. A large aspect of my art is the process behind it. Such as intimacy, art gives me a space to commemorate elements of the way I perceive my world. For this piece, I was commemorating my grandmother, a remarkable woman who also painted fish though had Alzheimers when I was young. Using that of the aquatic and her fish, I was able to connect to her and her interests when I had never known her personally.

Rosemary Read.

Acrylic, Casein, Pencil. My current body of work is driven by the energy, movement and forms found in nature. I feel that the physical processes which alter the Earth make for an excellent metaphorical representation of the impact of anxiety and restlessness on my mind, so my objective is to create pieces pieces that convey a sense of energy and movement, often resembling the power of water.

Julius Bush.

Mixed Media. My practice is essentially visual representation of feelings and stories that I would like to tell. Drawing allows me to thoroughly articulate my thoughts, and painting helps me convey mood and intention for concepts.

Johanna Porter.

Digitize Drawing. I approach my work in the studio as therapy- exploring experiences through the lens of my internal microscope. What results are visual allegories using a repository of organic shapes and animal symbolism. My dreams and subconscious drive the work forward in unexpected ways. Each piece starts as a drawing or photo where I process raw emotions.

Sally Landefeld

Acrylic. I am an artist and muralist, formally trained as a scientist with affiliations with a lab which explores the connection between water and wellness. I aim to unite environmental health with human health.

Yali Hajhassan

Calligraphy. I am a self-taught artist interested in Arabic calligraphy. My early fascination with Arabic calligraphy started at the age of 9 by practicing Al Ruqʿah script. However, it was not until the age of 17 that I continuously committed to experimenting and practicing calligraphy. The past 10 years that I spent working on improving my calligraphy skills have been a great beginning of an even greater chapter of this extraordinary journey.

Michael Dupille

Kiln Formed Glass. My imagery is representational with imaginative twists to embellish the narrative. I call my approach ‘soft surrealism’, which requires a second look and brings positive reactions. Humor or whimsy are part of my work, as are my experiences circumnavigating the world and I feel obligated to reflect the environment.

Ken Patterson

Acrylic. Retired Navy environmental scientist where I managed drinking water, storm water and wastes water projects. I now spend some of my time painting Oregon and Washington light houses and other scenes with water as the main subject.

Sydney Davis

Acrylic. The ocean inspires all my work. From the micro to the macro, from abstract to plein air pieces, my work is immersed in the natural world and I often paint while sitting on the beach.

Mitzy Hernandez

Acrylic. I am a Staff Sergeant in the United States Air Force . As a proud Latina artist who explores a lot of painting techniques. I enjoy focusing on landscapes, nature, and abstract works.

Amanda Drewniak

Crochet. I like to take crochet and use it as a statement with mostly reclaimed materials or themes that relate to our environment and how to preserve it. I believe using mostly reclaimed materials in my work shows that anyone can take "waste" and turn it into beauty.

Emerson Antcliff

Acrylic. Creating helps me connect to my truest and deepest self, inhaling and exhaling ideas and emotions just as waves do on the shore; a physical manifestation of the intangible within.

Corinne Humphrey

Acrylic. Artist and award-winning children’s book author and illustrator, Corinne Humphrey creates bold, whimsical paintings emphasizing optimism and universal themes inspired by her former shelter dogs Rudy and now Adobe. “I paint to make myself happy but also to inspire others, hopefully providing an antidote to the stresses of today’s world with “PAWSITIVE” messages and vibrant colors.”

Charles Olsen

Acrylic. Truth to form, my parochial arc became bone and the colors turned to ochre
