Art Exploring Biophilia & Solastalgia in Forests
Sierra Nevada-based artist Andie Thrams creates paintings and artist’s books in wildland forests to explore mystery, reverence, and delight, while also grappling with the vanishing habitats of our era. Merging the lineages of illuminated manuscripts and natural history field journals with contemporary art and science awareness, her work weaves rich layers of watercolor, intricate botanical detail, and hand-lettered text to evoke the complex interconnections within ecosystems of the Greater West.
