Katherine A. Laird is a printmaker, art educator and mixed media artist.

​Humans have entered a new geological epoch defined by the visible and lasting effects of human activity detrimental to all aspects of the environment.   My work visually imagines relationships between invasive human existence and nature.  I attempt to visualize ecological coexistence in the new Anthropocene through real and imagined futures, surreal narratives and fantastical fictions by combining a fusion of photo-lithography, etching and re-imagined print processes activated by digital GIFs, dimensional collage and installation.  I confront environmental crisis through surreal fictions that are grounded in realities, histories, social systems and biologies that engage in the greatest challenge of our time, climate change.
