Art x Climate is an integral part of the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), restored by Climate.us. #sciart One of the featured artworks is “Underwater Watercolor” by Olivia D . Year and Medium: 2023, watercolor

Artist statement: The idea behind this specific painting is to show the beauty and vibrancy of our ever-deteriorating oceans. I was inspired by the beautiful colors and livelihood of our oceans. The fluidity of movement, saturated colors, and detailed patterns all draw inspiration from familiar underwater scenery. The purpose of this piece is truly to inspire people to protect what is beautiful. I myself learned how important the oceans are to me, and I hope that respect can be reflected to the rest of the public through my artwork.

Art x Climate is an integral part of the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), restored by Climate.us. #sciart One of the featured artworks is “Methane Blues” by Tami Phelps. Year and Medium: 2021, cold wax and oil painting

My cold wax painting focuses on catastrophic ecosystem change in my home state, Alaska. “Methane Blues” shows melting ice wedges in permafrost under the tundra, weakening land and flora above ground. Collapsing earth creates methane-releasing thermokarst lakes across Alaska. Methane gas occurs when microbes digest decayed plants and animal remains. Their waste product, methane, is a 25-80x more potent greenhouse gas than CO2.

Art x Climate is an integral part of the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), restored by Climate.us. #sciart One of the featured artworks is “Invasion” by Pia De Girolamo. Year and Medium: 2020, acrylic on canvas

My painting depicts a polar bear in the Arctic viewing a distant cruise ship. I was on such a ship, visiting the Arctic Circle in 2019. The polar bear's look is wondering and poignant; the cruise ship seems innocent, but it represents another human incursion into this place of beauty. Climate change has already affected the area; the ice that allows the polar bear to travel and find food is shrinking. Bear and boat are on opposite sides in this painting. We need to be on the same side as the bear.

Art x Climate is an integral part of the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), restored by Climate.us. #sciart One of the featured artworks is “A Desperate Ocean” by Ananya A. Year and Medium: 2023, acrylic

The North Atlantic right whale is a critically endangered whale that inhabits the east coast waters of the United States. Human activities and climate change have driven down their numbers. I hope this piece will be a cry for help, something that will leave people with a sense of urgency. I also wanted to bring hope; the whale is escaping the entanglements. The sorrowful situation of the North Atlantic right whales can only be solved by us, humans, and if we all commit to it, I believe we can do it.

Art x Climate is an integral part of the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), restored by Climate.us. #sciart One of the featured artworks is “Deforestation” by Kelly Curl. Year and Medium: 2023, oil paint

Artist statement: I record the landscape through paintings, drawings, photography, and mixed media, highlighting landscape form, process, texture, and natural patterns at varying scales. This work illustrates an aerial version of deforestation. Forests are home to wildlife, significant carbon banks, controls for flooding and erosion, and a source of filtration and clean air. Land use is a difficult topic, as farming is critically important to feed our growing population.

Art x Climate is an integral part of the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), restored by Climate.us. #sciart One of the featured artworks is “Jackson County Industry” by Casey Lance Brown. Year and Medium: 2022, infrared photography composite

Originally trained as a landscape architect, I rework abandoned sites, invasive species zones and decaying ruins as a way of navigating human folly. Individual works juxtapose something highly artificial with something organic, and/or something jarring with something reassuring. Forged from multiple medium format images, this scene of industry in a forested, mountainous area combines landscape visualization techniques (infrared sensors) with more traditional light photography (dodge/burn, compositing) to bring out atmospheric details and place the manmade and vegetation in high contrast.

Art x Climate is an integral part of the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), restored by Climate.us. #sciart One of the featured artworks is “Concrete Jungle” by Jessica Beshears. Year and Medium: 2023, digital collage

Artist statement: Battling climate change will require a radically imaginative perspective on the world around us. What would it look like to create fully biophilic additions to buildings that already exist? How many jobs could be created through the planning and upkeep of a green city? How would gardens on every balcony and rooftop benefit people in food deserts? I used photos of common house plants tucked into an image of 30th Street and 5th Avenue in New York City for a fantastical view of a concrete jungle.

Art x Climate is an integral part of the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), restored by Climate.us. #sciart One of the featured artworks is "Cheryl" by Ellen Anderson. Year and Medium: 2021, oil on canvas

Artist's statement: Cheryl is a very real person in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She works at a social services non-profit and is a member of our gay community. I painted her to show her confidence and triumph over urban challenges. This painting depicts the density of urban life and the spirit of the individual in it. The power of the individual, for climate change, social change, and personal change is embodied in this painting.

Art x Climate is an integral part of the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), restored by Climate.us. #sciart One of the featured artworks is "Cautionary Tale" by Amelia K. Year and Medium: 2023, gouache

In my piece, I focused on air pollution and fossil fuels. I showed factories pumping toxic gasses and fuels into the air. I also included a figure drawing childlike images of factors that have or will be destroyed by climate change. Broken green crayons symbolize the destruction of nature as climate change worsens. This is a completely possible future for our planet, with bumblebee death tolls rising due to climate change and clean water becoming inaccessible for the less fortunate. Without action this problem will only worsen.

Art x Climate is an integral part of the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), restored by Climate.us. #sciart One of the featured artworks is "High Tide" by Carolina Aragon. Year and Medium: 2016, dichroic acrylic, fiberglass

High Tide was a temporary art installation inspired by Boston’s original marsh landscape to visualize projected flooding due to sea level rise. The installation represented future flood levels as a marsh of color-changing circles moving around vertical rods. High Tide is part of a series of temporary installations designed to engage the public with the science of climate change through unexpected moments of wonder. Placed in public spaces, the artworks provide site-specific information about flooding impacts through non-threatening embodied experiences.

Art x Climate is an integral part of the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), restored by Climate.us. #sciart One of the featured artworks is "Fragility" by Alyse Dietel. Year and Medium: 2023, pen, watercolor, acrylic

“Fragility” expresses the delicateness of our natural world and ecosystems. The vintage Heisey teacup, historically owned by the wealthy, represents how people have affected the environment for generations and continue to do so. Two of the whales are humpbacks, which in some cases are still endangered. The third whale is a North Atlantic right whale. North Atlantic right whales are critically endangered and are expected to become functionally extinct in just a few decades. Above the whales float several icebergs, which are spilling over the edge of the cup bit by bit. The earth is losing approximately 1.2 trillion tons of ice per year due to climate change.

Art x Climate is an integral part of the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), restored by Climate.us. #sciart One of the featured artworks is “Reflections in Pink” by Pamela DeChellis. Year and Medium: 2022, digital photography

Early in the morning at Huntington Beach State Park in South Carolina, I found myself alone with this beautiful spoonbill, who was gently wading and preening in the morning light. Traditionally the spoonbill is most common in coastal Florida, Texas, and parts of Louisiana. Recently, we have seen spoonbills expand their range into South Carolina, in part because of climate change. As more northern areas get warmer they 'flock' to these areas. As the sea level rises, the more southern waters also get too deep for them to forage.

Art x Climate is an integral part of the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), restored by Climate.us. #sciart One of the featured artworks is “Glaciers, Last Call” by Christian Murillo. Year and Medium: 2022, photographic print

The Sulphide Glacier on Mt. Shuksan receives the last ray of light, resembling a glimpse of hope for the glaciers in the North Cascades. As a landscape photographer, I am constantly searching for wilderness areas that provoke the juxtaposing themes of power and fragility, particularly in the context of climate change. I aim to draw my audience in with the beauty of the landscapes and inspire them to contemplate the intrinsic value of wild spaces. We cannot truly protect something we do not love, and we cannot love something that does not move us.

Art x Climate is an integral part of the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), restored by Climate.us. #sciart One of the featured artworks is “Sky Parameters: Carbon Monoxide” by Lindsy Halleckson. Year and Medium: 2019, acrylic on canvas

My minimal paintings reference sky and weather. I find inspiration at the edge of day. The quiet, liminal, and changing space is full of possibility. Most recently, my work has been infused with atmospheric data. This piece depicts a subset of air quality data from Hennepin County, Minnesota, where I live and work. Using data from the 2014 State and County Emissions Sources published by the EPA, this piece portrays sources of Carbon Monoxide emissions, which are roughly: Mobile 89% (blue); Miscellaneous 6% (white); Fuel Combustion 5% (ocher).
