Jacklyn Gratzfeld

Fine Art

  My goal is to combine Art with the preservation of Nature. I want to create and celebrate beauty and emotion, and give a voice to the part of Nature that cannot speak.

My latest “Skylight” Series reflects a perfect moment when we feel that we are a part of Nature. The form traced out by the sky represents the central theme of the skylight. In these skylights, wild forms of plants and varieties cultivated by man co-exist. They are three-dimensional. I believe that allowing and supporting this co-existence is the key to saving endangered plant and animal species and all life on earth.

Parallel to her exhibitions she sometimes gives photo presentations which focus on animals, ecology and Art.
