Artist Biography 2026
Adrienne is a multidisciplinary artist with a primary interest in photomedia. Her ecologically-engaged practice focusses on the relationships between reality and human perspectives of reality – drawing attention to anthropocentric attitudes to the aesthetics of the natural environment, to ecological profiteering, and to the delusional belief in distinctions between the human and natural world. Her aims are to encourage environmental respect and restoration, and optimism for the future. She is an active member of the Tree Veneration Society of eco artists.
