                   PEGI EYERS - ARTIST STATEMENT
​“The art-making process enables me to explore existing mythologies and those of my own making.  With my painting and mixed-media creations I celebrate the energy and beauty of the natural world, and express the timeless principles of interconnectivity.  I am inspired by earth-emergent traditions that recognize the sacred in all life, and stories that draw close to the Great Mystery. In times of massive change and climate disaster, the creative arts are an essential part of my resilience and direct action.“

The climate crisis is upon us, but we still have a limited time to make an impact. Artists created poetry, music, short story, spoken word, performance, or multidisciplinary work to show their response to the crisis, to envision a new world, and to motivate positive action.

Artists creating climate-inspired art to:
​
• Inspire Action.
• Capture beauty.
• Document this time of change.
• Help others imagine a better future.
• Stand in solidarity with those on the front lines.
• Mourn our collective losses.
• Share their unique vision.
• Showcase their hopes or dreams.

Partnered with Creative Women Leading Climate Action series presented by the UMass Arts Extension Service, Augusta Savage Gallery, Women of Color Leadership Network, and College of Humanities and Fine Arts Advising and Career Center with support from Women for UMass Amherst, UMass Sustainability Innovation and Engagement Fund, Massachusetts Cultural Council, and the Arts Extension Service’s Arts Entrepreneurship Initiative.

​​Pegi Eyers is also the author of  Ancient Spirit Rising: Reclaiming Your Roots & Restoring Earth Community, an award-winning book that explores social justice, nature spirituality, the ancestral arts, and resilience in times of massive change.  www.stonecirclepress.com

    Pegi Eyers' brilliant artwork sings of
    the power of the feminine soul and
    body.  A song of protection and procreative power. 
    ​ A song of abundance
