BREATHTAKING DRAWINGS OF GREENLAND'S CHANGING ARCTIC LANDSCAPES

Chasing the Light is an art expedition led by artist Zaria Forman that draws inspiration from breathtaking geography to create equally striking art. The project began in August 2012 when Forman sought to fulfill her late mother Rena's wish to take an Arctic voyage similar to the one American painter William Bradford took in 1869. In fact, it was Forman's mother, a painter herself, who originally conceived of the artistic journey.

Forman kept her promise and traveled up the northwest coast of Greenland, documenting the spectacular views through her pastel drawings. Besides carrying out a vow she made to her mother, the artist also sees the expedition as a way of "documenting the rapidly changing arctic landscape." Her mission is to creatively record the effects of climate change on these awe-inspiring landscapes.
