I’m delighted to share that my work has been featured in Insights of an Eco Artist in a new article titled “Debris and Restoration: Laura Bernardeschi Nelson’s Material Ecology.” Insights of a Young Ecological Artist
The feature explores the heart of my practice: the intersection between memory, identity and the natural environment, and how I use mixed media, found objects and natural materials from the North Sea to build what the author calls “a physical archive of environmental harm.” Insights of a Young Ecological Artist
In the interview, I talk about:
- my shift from bold figurative work to softer, restorative landscapes after a difficult period with mental health,
- my focus on climate change, oceans and deforestation,
- key works like Debris of Our Own Making, Scars of the Green Planet, The Last Forest and The Choice,
- and my belief that art can open a gentle but urgent conversation about our responsibility to the planet. Insights of a Young Ecological Artist
The piece also touches on my mural in North Gosforth, my book Mixed Media and Climate Awareness: Laura’s Impactful Art, and my ongoing commitment to combining personal storytelling with environmental advocacy. Insights of a Young Ecological Artist
