Soil Painting: Creating Art with the Ground under our Feet
Sunday, January 24 at 6pm
The first in a series of lectures examining the intersection of science and art
Kirsten Kurtz, Cornell University soil scientist and internationally recognized soil painter will be sharing her soil paintings and practices via a virtual art show hosted by TCFA.
Kurtz creates her own paints from soil she collects as manager of the Cornell Soil Health Lab. She is passionate about communicating the importance of preserving and promoting healthy soil and sustainable farming practices through her art. The virtual art show will feature Kurtz’s catalog of soil paintings (including the debut of some new works) coupled with a lecture on her methods, inspirations and the science behind her art.
Kirsten is a soil scientist at Cornell University as well as a classically trained artist with a Bachelors of Art focused on painting. Kirsten manages the Cornell Soil Health Lab and is currently an MS candidate at Cornell. Kirsten’s work has been featured in multiple media outlets. The videos of her events have been viewed over 50,000 times and she has been an invited speaker for various classes at Cornell and at scientific conferences around the country. More details, including examples of her soil paintings can be found at: https://soilpainting.com/
