Jeanne Lorenz is a visual artist whose work explores ecology and human collaboration with natural systems. In the summer of 2015, she walked 2,000 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail with her husband and eleven-year-old daughter. Traveling by foot and living outside for five months, the family lived the daily experience of the California drought, traveling from water source to water source through the Anza Borrego and Mojave Deserts, through the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges, where the word “water” became a mantra. Off trail, Lorenz lives within a protected watershed where residents share communal springs. In December 2015, she completed a month-long residency at the Vermont Studio Center and created large-scale, site-specific installations exploring the intersection of our collective industrial past and the changing climate of our future. Jeanne Lorenz earned a BFA with High Distinction from the California College of Arts and Crafts Oakland and an MFA from the Yale University School of Art. Lorenz teaches painting, printmaking, and design/color in the Art Department at Solano Community College in Fairfield, California.
