ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Robin McCauley’s work offers a deeply personal perspective on nature and our interconnectedness with it. McCauley’s art brings ancient stories into the modern world, with a focus on ecological themes and the enduring spirit of animals.

A distinguished artist and environmental advocate, Robert McCauley presents a new body of work that directly addresses the increasingly dire consequences of humanity’s impact on the environment. In his latest paintings, McCauley captures the raw beauty and fragility of wildlife, urging us to reflect on the human-driven forces that threaten the delicate balance of our planet. His animal portraits—both whimsical and foreboding—create a narrative of ecological tension, inviting viewers to witness the animals as they face an uncertain future, yet still hopeful and resilient.
