This exhibition is ideal for those interested in environmental art, conservation, climate awareness, native species and regional artists. Featured Artists Lee Fearnside, photographer Fearnside documents Northwest Ohio’s wildlife areas and landscapes shaped by human activity. Her photography examines how development, agriculture and everyday choices affect fragile ecosystems.

Her paintings evoke complex biomes and explore the deep interconnection between humans and the environments they inhabit. Kathy McGhee, printmaker McGhee approaches nature through close observation. Using animals, landscapes and symbolic objects, her prints prompt reflection on how we perceive and internalize the natural world. Why Attend Experience three distinct approaches to environmental art Learn more about Northwest Ohio’s native species and ecosystems Reflect on sustainability, conservation and regional identity Together, these artists invite visitors to look closely at the landscapes around them and imagine how care, awareness and stewardship can shape the future of Northwest Ohio.
