Field Notes: Experimental Practices in Nature
July 28th – August 30th, 2026
The Huntington Arts Council invited artists to participate in Field Notes: Experimental Practices in Nature. This exhibition seeks work inspired by the natural world, with an emphasis on experimentation, material exploration, and expressive approaches. We were looking to move beyond the traditional landscape. Artists were invited to submit pieces that reflect a deep personal engagement with nature and the creative process. This is an exploration of the organic as a medium and a muse for experimental inquiry.
ABOUT THE JUROR:
Christine Donnelly, 2025 and 2026 Artist Fellowship recipient, is a Long Island based mixed media artist and art educator. Trained as a graphic designer, she has always been drawn to abstract artwork. Christine craved the opportunity to break from the rigidity of design and have the freedom to use materials in an expressive and spontaneous way. She dedicates time to creating layered, ethereal artwork that resonates with her. Her process is experimental, and greatly inspired by the beauty of nature.
