Our World:  The Wonder and The Worry

Art can depict both the beauty of our natural environments and the concern for what we are witnessing across the planet. We have all seen the reverence for the land portrayed by artists such as Lauren Harris and Emily Carr. Alternatively, the works of Tiffany Shaw-Collinge and Edward Burtynsky have shown how art can bring attention to the plight caused by human development. This show is a dynamic mix of artwork that balances the love and respect we hold for our natural world while drawing attention to the devastating changes affecting us due to climate change. In doing so, we can, as artists, add our voices to the call for action now!

We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. Ralph Waldo Emerson
