Miriam Czarski an environmental lawyer and visiting PhD researcher with the Department of Legal Studies at Carleton University, where her work examines the interplay between a holistic, ecological understanding of nature and ocean governance. In her free time, she is also an artist. At her core she believes in the power of art to heal our planet. The work she is exhibiting at the Art for Climate Showcase on October 5 is the beginning of her inner reconciliation of these two identities. The gouache and watercolour paintings represent an ecosystem as it evolves in a rapidly changing planet: but the colours are vibrant and the shapes are fluid because our generation needs a hopeful future.<\/p>\n
