Artist Talk with Nicole Cooper

​Join artist Nicole Cooper for a conversation about The Mothers In Me Will Meet You There, her solo exhibition exploring Active Hope and our emotional relationship with climate crisis through nine figurative oil paintings.

​Cooper will walk through key paintings in the exhibition, discuss the concept of Active Hope—a practice of conscious engagement rather than passive optimism—and share insights into her creative process. The talk explores how art can create space for the complex emotions that arise when we face our environmental reality: grief, anxiety, love, and possibility.

​Time for audience questions included.

​When: Saturday, March 14, 2025, 1:30-2:15 PM

​Where: Centerpoint Gallery of Anthroposophy NYC, 138 W 15th St, New York, NY 10011

​Admission: Free and open to all

​About the Exhibition:

​The Mothers In Me Will Meet You There features figurative oil paintings that weave together human figures and elemental landscapes, breaking down barriers between bodies to emphasize our profound interdependence across generations and with the natural world. The exhibition runs through March 27, 2025.
