Offered by: Tori Jones Studio

Description
- Watercolor on paper, framed with museum-quality plexi

- Introducing a new series of artwork by Josie Merck, a lauded artist and founder of the Ocean View Foundation, an organization dedicated to environmental education and preservation on Block Island, Rhode Island.

- A conservationist and climate change activist, Merck immediately fell in love with Block Island's open, rugged landscape when she first visited nearly 40 years ago. The island's trees, bluffs, and rolling fields quickly became a favorite subject. Working in a variety of media, Merck's art is defined by personal experiences in nature; much of her work is painted from the captain's walk of her house and the roof of her pickup truck. Viewers will discover expressive interpretations of island vistas and local landmarks, as well as tranquil summertime scenes in vibrant colors and imaginative forms.

- Born in Canada, Merck lived in Mexico and Brazil as a child, growing up with a love of art and nature, color and celebration. She studied painting at Sarah Lawrence College and received her MFA from Yale University School of Art. She also attended Skowhegan School in Maine, the Art Students League, and SUNY Purchase. In addition to her fine art practice and environmental advocacy, Merck is the founder and co-director of The Lost & Found Lab in Cos Cob, Connecticut, an artist's residency created in honor of her late husband, celebrated New Yorker cartoonist and writer James Stevenson.
