After studying music and engineering at the Ohio State University, I came to New York to work in the music industry. Drawn to environmental activism, I then spent many years studying the philosophical foundations of ecological thought and education. Following these studies, I&#8217;ve been active in the visual arts for over 20 years, focusing primarily on painting, printmaking and photography. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, my work investigates psychosocial and spiritual connections with landscapes and organic forms.&nbsp; This art explores relationships between the self and its environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/azelvandre.net\/artistseye\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/GowanusMural-23.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"1271\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/azelvandre.net\/artistseye\/2023\/09\/how-i-spent-my-summer\/gowanusmural-23\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/azelvandre.net\/artistseye\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/GowanusMural-23.jpg?fit=2000%2C2000\" data-orig-size=\"2000,2000\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;X100F&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1692292470&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;23&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0008&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"GowanusMural-23\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Mural detail.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/azelvandre.net\/artistseye\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/GowanusMural-23.jpg?fit=300%2C300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/azelvandre.net\/artistseye\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/GowanusMural-23.jpg?fit=1024%2C1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/azelvandre.net\/artistseye\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/GowanusMural-23.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/azelvandre.net\/artistseye\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/GowanusMural-23.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/azelvandre.net\/artistseye\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/GowanusMural-23.jpg?resize=300%2C300 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/azelvandre.net\/artistseye\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/GowanusMural-23.jpg?resize=150%2C150 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/azelvandre.net\/artistseye\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/GowanusMural-23.jpg?resize=768%2C768 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/azelvandre.net\/artistseye\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/GowanusMural-23.jpg?resize=1536%2C1536 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/azelvandre.net\/artistseye\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/GowanusMural-23.jpg?w=2000 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Occasionally, in fits and starts, I tinker with my online presence.
