Christine Simpson Photo Art

I have always loved the idea of using art to advance social causes, to make us reflect and rethink what it means to be human in the 21st century. My artwork is an ongoing exploration of the unresolved environmental concerns of this century. It attempts to define the world we live in by contrasting aspects of a disintegrating planet with the beauty of all living things. Despite the overwhelming beauty of our planet, the reality is that we are on a precipice of extinction, balancing on the edge of a global meltdown. The ravages of climate change have already been experienced in the form of more frequent floods, violent storms, drought, destruction of wetlands and other natural habitats. All of this has contributed to the loss of tens of thousands of species of animals, birds, and bees. The Earth is a living breathing eco system and it is our HOME! Everything we need as human beings in order to survive has been provided for us by our natural world.
