“WETLAND TO WOODLAND”: An exhibit of works by Princeton-based eco-artists Mary Waltham and Susan Hoenig is on view at the Princeton Public Library through May 30. An Art Talk will be held on Tuesday, March 24, at 7 p.m. in the Community Room at the library.

“Wetland to Woodland,” an exhibition of recent works by Princeton-based eco-artists Mary Waltham and Susan Hoenig, is on view on the second floor of Princeton Public Library through May 30.

An Art Talk, during which the artists will discuss and answer questions about their work, will be Tuesday, March 24, at 7 p.m. in the Community Room.

“Our work exhibited in Princeton Public Library … asks viewers to consider afresh these two distinctly different but interrelated ecosystems, each of which combats climate change,” the artists said in a joint statement.

“We present works reflecting a connection to and inspiration from wetland and woodland respectively, using a range of visual media and methods.”

“My work exhibited here includes part of an extensive body of art inspired by wetlands,” said Waltham, a biologist who had a career in science and science publishing. “‘Wetlands’ integrates landscape with environment in paintings and a series of drawings using mud collected at different wetland sites and photographs. These place the viewer directly in contact with the colors and textures of wetlands, where land meets water. Wetlands are positioned at the front line globally, as rising water levels change the status quo.”

“Woodland” integrates the very essence of the life cycle of trees and the synchronous relationship in the pattern of forest regeneration,” said Hoenig. “My work in this exhibition addresses the impact of global warming on our changing forest ecosystems.”

Hoenig teaches at the Arts Council of Princeton and in Out-Reach Programs. In addition to her artistic pursuits, she works at the Featherbed Lane Bird Banding Station in the Sourland Mountains of New Jersey.
