Dr. Fran Kremer & Karen Boone joined us to discuss Human | Nature, the new exhibit opening at Louisville Visual Art on July 11th. Tune in to Artists Talk with LVA each Thursday at 10 am on 97.1 FM/Artxfm.com.
Dr. Fran Kremer served nearly four decades as a Senior Scientist with the US Environmental Protection Agency’s research office until 2025. She led multidisciplinary teams in developing innovative approaches for monitoring and controlling contaminants in water supplies and in anticipating and developing solutions for climate change impacts on public health and the environment. She is a co-founder of Uniting Artists and Scientists for Climate Action (UASCA).
In Karen Boone’s artistic practice, she uses less-toxic materials like foraged ochres from her own property, creek clay, and charred wood, an artistic pact with nature and the wilderness. She has exhibited locally and also in the southwest. Her most recent exhibit was Natural Formations – Sustainably made sculptures and paintings by Karen Boone at Moremen Gallery, Louisville.
