The exhibition examines how art can be a powerful tool for engaging with nature and the natural landscape. Through the lens of beauty and wonder, the works of these artists provide a personal and profound experience of the natural world. In doing so, they hope to inspire viewers to take action to protect and preserve it.

Common threads run through the work of the three artists featured in this exhibition including Gastinger’s precise observations of the natural world, Gautreau’s luminous and atmospheric oil and encaustic paintings, and Perdue’s dreamy and incredibly detailed palladium photographic prints. Each artist takes a uniquely different approach, resulting in a multifaceted exploration of the theme.
