Lisa Tarkett Reed: My artistic practice seeks to give voice to the mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions' endangered species. I use watercolor, ink, colored pencils, collage, and printmaking techniques to synthesize my research and observations of threatened flora and fauna and invite a dialogue about ecological vulnerability. Using reference material gathered during field studies with my sketchbook and camera, as well as research into rare species documented by the Wildlife and Heritage Service and the Natural Heritage Program, I am developing a visual vocabulary using a variety of mediums over time. Painted, printed, drawn, collaged and abstracted images of the Starflower, the Sandpiper, and the Wren serve as both personal symbols of life experiences and a form of activist documentation, bridging an exploration of materials, individual reflection, and environmental advocacy.
