Artist Statement:

Using different artistic mediums to raise awareness about our planet’s environmental challenges has become the focus for artist Jessica Moon Bernstein-Schiano.

Climate change, the waste stream, and endangered species are various subjects that influence her work and are expressed in her pieces. Human impact on our planet’s environment is one of the most pressing issues of our time and can invoke a sense of powerlessness. Jessica confronts these concerns through her art practice, addressing issues that our society tends to neglect or deny.

Her style is quite diverse, as she has worked with a wide variety of materials including discarded plastic bags, punctured bicycle inner tubes, and melting ice. Most recently, Jessica uses discarded paper materials to create 2D mixed media pieces that show the beauty she observes while adventuring out in the natural world.

Through her work, she hopes to inspire and remind audiences of what we have as well as what we stand to lose if we do not take action.
