Artist Registry

My work investigates frontier science combined with symbolist figuration from an ecological feminist point of view. Digital collages combine two and three-dimensional images based on the premise of the extension of the Earth’s biosphere. The biosphere could be extended by humankind for the purpose of accessing the resources of the Solar System for terrestrial benefit. This work evolved as the result of my work on the book, “Paradise Regained: Regreening the Earth using Resources from Space”. My feminist ecological art found its voice in the research undertaken to collaborate with two scientists on visualizing alternatives for our ecological concerns.

Archetypes of stars and the cosmos including our sun as the Germanic Sun Goddess, Sunna are depicted as female. Since 1984 my work continues to be informed by my ongoing collaboration with scientists including my husband, Dr. Gregory Matloff. I was awarded NASA Faculty Fellowships for the summers of 2002-2004 at Marshall Space Flight Center and worked under a grant there in 2001. I’ve attended astronautical conferences, where I have participated by exhibiting or presenting papers. Additionally, I continue my art that combines mythologies, science and the hope for human evolution, in a wide variety of mediums.
