“Artists create from their lived experiences, and nature is an inherent element to life in the Catskills and larger New York. It is no surprise then that plant matter has become incorporated into their work. Now more than ever it is time to feature these works in the context of the interconnectedness between the human condition and the fate of the environment as we know it.” – Ursula Hudak
