with artists Diana Bick and Kim Etherington-Reid This exhibition uses abstract and non-objective work to explore how nature is changing, from air and water to soil and biodiversity, shaped by natural processes and, more pointedly, by human influence. The mark making and textures carry both physical and emotional weight, with the hope that sharing this work sparks conversation, and perhaps action, around what we're seeing and how we might shape what comes next.
On display at The Gallery at L.E. Shore June 6 - June 30, 2026 | Sunday June 7 from 10am - 3:30pm
