“Dramatic pictures which have shown more to me about climate change in Canada and Happisburgh (Norfolk) than many TV programmes. A lasting impression; Fortress Mountain. I felt the cold chill when I looked at that”.
“I have never seen anything like it! Amazing!” (Age 11)
“What a wonderful collaboration between the artist and scientist – well done. We do not often see such a fusion of discipline and skill. This is wholly engaging, well-presented and should travel widely to educate and inform”.
“Beautiful, moving, great how art and science can reveal truths that people still refuse to look at. Keep going! Thank you”.
“Awesome”.
A terrific, thought-provoking and moving exhibition. This brings the reality of climate change in W Canada to a wide audience”
“Staggering (both the theme and the work)”
“The paintings show a vivid picture of what climate change is really like. It sends out a clear message that we should do something about climate change”
“Really powerful exhibition. Would be good if it could travel around the country”.
“I’m a big fan of your painting Fox Lake Burn. The colourful painting looks amazing. I feel moved from your masterpiece”.
“Moving; Evocative; Stunning; A tour de force”.
“Impressive! Appealing and necessary combination between art and science to show the impact of artificially induced climate change”.
“So powerful. Thank you”.
“I love your paintings of the polar bears (I mean, it’s all very powerful and makes you think but the polar bears really touched me). Amazing”.
“Thought-provoking and magnificent”.
“What a beautiful exhibition bringing science and art together. Such talent”.
“Finally came and saw your amazing exhibition. Wow! Wow! Wow!”
“Great exhibition. As an environmental scientist turned artist it is fascinating seeing the two coming together”.
“Wonderfully expressive and impressive”.
“Some terrific work – the beginning could have been more dramatic perhaps. The large oil paintings have tremendous dynamic power in them. Great”.
“Great exhibition. Very interesting and powerful paintings”.
“A very powerful art-science collaboration – will encourage more people to see it”.
“I love it”.
“My favret (sic)is the desert on the lake because it is very neet (sic) and tidy. They put a lot of thought and effort into this painting”. (Age 7)
“Thank you for producing and exhibiting the wonderful evocations of the Yukon. They deserve to be more widely seen, more cathedrals perhaps?”
“These paintings are marvellous. I wish I had some money”
“This is amazing work, evocative, gigantic, and still beautiful and terrifying”.
“Amazingly unique”.
“The news today is not good. Temp in Alaska peaked 32. Perfect timing for the exhibition”.
“Both beautiful and worrying”
“Brings it all home to us in an interesting way. Well done”.
“Exquisite”.
“Thought provoking and beautiful work. Thank you”
“Love the field work, wonderful colours that convey the feeling and atmosphere. The studio works are full of great texture and feeling”.
“The pictures are very good and thought provoking” (Age 5)
“What dramatic scenes! A wonderful collection, full of atmosphere”.
“Breathtaking”
“So beautiful”.
“Love your paintings; they are about serious global problems and assists our thinking about it – thank you”
“Wonderful”
“Striking”
“Stunning”
“Magnificent. Thank you”.
