Fran Beallor, an artist and educator, creates a series of glacier portraits using NASA satellite images, emphasizing climate change's impact on these natural wonders. This work is featured in two New York City exhibitions, part of the Hudson Guild's "Art in Response" initiative, which highlights artists' views on environmental resilience and hope. Beallor, who rediscovered her artistic practice after motherhood, intertwines her glacier series with self-portraits, urging viewers to reflect on human-nature interconnectedness. Her work represents a shift towards a hopeful vision of adaptation in the face of ecological challenges.
"It's an artistic way to engage viewers about the pressing issues of climate change, to show them the beauty of glaciers while also emphasizing their fragility."
"Drawing became my primary lens to reflect on my identity and the world around me, especially as I navigated motherhood and the evolving narrative of the planet."
