But what really caught our attention is her series of what she calls “Snow Drawings.” Much like their name suggests, these drawings are created on massive snow-covered landscapes. With the help of volunteers and sometimes whole communities, Hinrichsen creates walking pattern systems with snowshoes.

The result, when seen from a bird-eye view, is quite striking. “I believe that through the means of art it is possible to point out the importance of environmental soundness – through speaking to emotion and passion for nature, and through unlocking an ancient sense of freedom and awe,” reflected Hinrichsen in a piece she posted on her personal website.

“We have come to see our planet as a mine to extract the resources we need to maintain our extravagant life-styles, and as a dumping station for our toxic waste products,” she criticizes. “I believe, however, to secure a habitat for future generations (of our own species as well as others) it is essential that we tune ourselves in with nature and re-gain greater awareness of our planet, understand it better and take better stewardship of it.”

“I hope my drawings can facilitate a deeper understanding of the climate crisis, helping us find meaning and optimism in shifting landscapes,” Forman shared with ArtStar. “I hope they can serve as records of landscapes in flux, documenting the transition, and inspiring our global community to take action for the future.”

Her paintings, made using pastel colors almost exclusively, very much rely on her observations. Traveling to remote regions of the world, Forman collects images and inspiration which she then takes back to Brooklyn.

Her project took her around the globe, and she has even flown with NASA on several Operation IceBridge missions over Antarctica, Greenland, and Arctic Canada. “In all my travels I have never experienced a landscape as epic and pristine as Antarctica,” she says. “I still haven’t found the words to properly convey the majesty and ethereal wonder of that icy continent!”

Exhibited worldwide, her work is also featured in publications like The New York Times, National Geographic, and The Wall Street Journal. Scroll down to see some of her paintings.
