ZNP Artist in Residence, Alison Green, will give a presentation on her encaustic and mixed media painting techniques.

Artist statement:

“My art explores the elegant interconnectivity of all living things. Plants, trees, botanicals, birds, have long served as symbols and archetypes in the human imagination. The current disconnection between people and the natural world threatens the environment and climate, and it also threatens human wellness. Science has proven that spending time in nature can be deeply healing. My creative work strives to share the concept of Biophilia, the innate human love of nature, as described by biologist E.O. Wilson. If more people love and connect to the natural world, more people will care about conservation and biodiversity. Using encaustic, oils, collage, and drawing, I merge representational forms with evocative abstract elements. This confluence where media, technique, and subject matter come together is an organic process, resulting in a fluid evolution of themes and iconography. My work seeks a poetic middle ground, where elements and references become abstract, whisper suggestions, and transition into a mysterious realm: nuanced, intriguing, unknown.”
