Zoe Matthiessen: Ecocide
Zoe Matthiessen: Ecocide, features 20 original illustrations from the award winning artist Zoe Matthiessen. The exhibition is located in the Spencer Presentation Gallery at the Walter J. Manninen Center for the Arts at Endicott College. Ms. Matthiessen is a self-taught artist living in New Haven, Connecticut, and was recently accepted into the Society of Illustrator’s 60th Annual Exhibition and chosen to be included in American Illustration 37. Ms. Matthiessen contributes regularly to both The American Bystander and to The Nation, has produced work for The Environmental Defense Fund, and has held her weekly spot “Ecocide” in New Haven Independent for the past year.
Selected as one of the "Top Ten Emerging Artists of 2018" by Art New England Magazine, her work also made the cover of the March/April issue of the print publication. Deeply concerned with political and environmental issues, she remains hopeful despite all evidence to the contrary, creating art to raise awareness and to effect change.
Please join us on Thursday, October 25, at 4:30 p.m. for an artist talk in the Spencer Presentation Gallery at the Walter J. Manninen Center for the Arts. Ms. Matthiessen will discuss her work, inspiration, and also do a question and answer period. A light reception will follow. The exhibition, gallery talk, and reception are free and open to the public.
