Both of the artists share their deeply mindful and respectful appreciation of the landscape that has caught their attention. In a world that is often chaotic, the need for nature stands steadfast as a location of respite. These artists acknowledge this need as we all traverse a landscape often in peril. The risks to our environment should not outweigh our convenience as we rely and ingest more and more plastic, and as our seas not only rise, but are weighed down with what we discard.  Andrew Arocho, an abstract artist has embraced the sea and the idea of the sublime while on and in the water. Understanding the awe inspiring quality of the sea, Arocho strives to capture both its unyielding power, but also the moments of peace that it affords. Cascading through waves, bluffs and still water, each of his works present different angles of the phenomenon of moving water. Seeing the sea also as a mirror into one’s own self, Arocho also offers insight on the cyclical flow of both water, and life. One can assume that as the water can rage, then calm, so too does the individual—it is a matter of allowing and following the current towards the destination one envisions.  Looking at the environment and landscapes we all traverse, Molly Gambardella begins her journey with the goal of recycling what is trashed, what clogs our hills, streams and more. An avid outdoors person, Gambardella also strives to teach and pay homage to the many microcosms that make up our planet. Primarily looking at Lichens, she takes these tiny entities from under a microscope and enlarges them, at times to more than sixty inches. Her work is comprised of thousands of silk petals that she painstakingly pieces together to create the abundance that mirrors lichens. Her work also crosses the lines between art and design culminating in works that function both as art, but also as a reminder of the fragility of nature and how each ecosystem is needed to keep our planet healthy - and of course, ourselves.  Combined, these artists look at the landscape that is our environment, soaking in the abuses, and the weakness—and in so doing, they not only focus on the obvious, the external but also on the internal. In this way, how we feel internally can be seen by how we treat what is outside and around us.
