MEGAN BROUGHTON uses experimental etching and drawing techniques to inspire care for and curiosity about the climate by bringing faraway environments closer to home. Her time spent on Arctic sailing vessels taught her that “Everything is always changing and adapting and that isn’t necessarily a big scary thing if you’re in tune with it and able to do the same. It’s when you aren’t paying attention, or take things for granted, that things go sideways.”

CARLY LAKE creates artwork inspired by and intimately connected to the natural environment where she lives. She says, “Growing up in Southern California, I felt a lack of understanding of and connection to the nature around me. That longing and a drive to create led me to practices like natural dyeing – one of the tangible ways I connect to the landscape and enter into community with others who care deeply for the wellbeing of our environment.”
