Acrylic on canvas, 4 ft. X 3 ft. ——————————————— This painting is a snapshot of life on Earth right now and how our actions are not only impacting our planet, but every living being in the world. Inside the painting are hidden graphs, such as the tree/fire line that shows the average global temperature rising since 1880, the ice line starting at the pine tree and moving to the right that indicates the Arctic sea ice melting over the last 40 years, and the road the cars are driving up under that represents the carbon dioxide concentration rising over the last 80 years. Across various intervals of time, the relationship between mankind’s actions and our changing environment remains clear. *Graph sources: NASA, NSIDC, and USCD There are also many causes and effects throughout the piece. For example, deforestation, shown near the middle of the painting, is primarily caused by the production of palm oil, animal agriculture, mineral extraction, and construction. One major effect depicted are the animals that have now become endangered due to the destruction of their homes and food/water sources in these forests. Another example of a cause-and-effect relationship in this painting is shown in the top-left of the painting where trapped emissions cause the sun’s heat and radiance to warm the planet and also darken the snow and ice, which makes the ice melt faster. As ice decreases in quantity and size, animals that depend on swimming to new icebergs to hunt and sleep like polar bears end up swimming much longer distances in an effort to survive. This is 1 of more than 40 unique animals illustrated in this piece within the context of how it’s being impacted right now in the Anthropocene, which is the current geological age, viewed as the period during which human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment. When you look closely at this painting, you can find many more disasters being caused by human actions as well as the beginning of our effort to mitigate our negative impact on the planet. This painting remains unlisted as part of my private collection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d25b02a3663e40001cadeda/1770578544057-MH40P7G1IQR2VIL0YCCW/1AF7A0B7-D98D-4133-B020-3656270984F9.jpeg Environmental Witness “Lady Earth and Mankind” 2016 - 2020.

The tonal ranges are composed entirely of stick figures in order to show the quantity of people affected by hunger, while the eyes show political figures shaking hands over a meal and food trickling down the tears to show the causes of world hunger, political and distribution issues. The distribution of the food begins with the most expensive version, a seafood dinner, and then becomes less expensive as it goes down until it reaches the bottom as a bag of rice that still doesn’t make it to the starving child’s mouth or their bowl. I used to sell signed prints like the one at the bottom that fed 100 children a healthy meal for every print sold with the help of Feeding Children Everywhere. You can see them here!

Throughout my childhood, my dad and I watched countless space shuttle launches together, and many nights, he pointed out different stars and constellations to me from our front porch. He spoke about astronauts, the space station, Hubble telescope photos, and just all things space with me, and really to anyone who would listen. He was fascinated by space, and over the years, I grew to love it too. A few months after my dad died in 2022, NASA released its first photos from its new telescope (the James Webb Space Telescope), and I could just imagine how excited he would have been to see them. I could hear him in my mind saying “Ashley, have you seen these new photos of space? They’re just so coooool!” I knew he would have been sharing them online and telling everyone to “teach kids about space,” which is something he was passionate about too. From the moment I saw the images, I couldn’t stop talking about them. Then one night, after a particularly lengthy conversation about them at a party, one of my friends asked, “why don’t you paint them?” And I replied, “because the photos are already perfect. I can’t paint them any better than they already are,” and without missing a beat, he said, “but that’s not the point of your art though… you paint how things feel. Why don’t you paint how space feels?” And in that moment, everything just clicked into place for me. I started dreaming of bringing these photographs to life with thick, touchable textures, beautiful metallic details, and deep emotional inspiration carefully tucked into every layer of paint. A few months later I completed the first painting in the series, “Birth of a Star” which I painted for what would have been my dad’s birthday. This painting is based off of a photo of the Carina Nebula that features a star nursery where stars are actively being born in huge thick clouds of dust. A few weeks after that I finished the second painting in the series, which is “Death of a Star,” It was released on the anniversary of my dad’s death. It depicts a star slowly releasing clouds of dust as it dies. The third painting in the series was finished for my first Father’s Day without my dad, the purple spiral galaxy. Purple was his favorite color, and that is why all of these are titled, dated, signed, and dedicated to my dad on the back in purple paint. Prints and the originals are now available. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d25b02a3663e40001cadeda/1677453659147-1EW6QC4ZK2YMY62XGMG1/IMG_2473.jpg Cosmic Perspective This is a new 2023 painting series inspired by the James Webb Telescope images and created in memory of my dad, Mike Baldwin.
