Artist's Statement

   My images promote an appreciation of the profound beauty of the world and underscore the critical message that we must protect our planet from thoughtless destruction – especially the current climate change crisis.

     This past year I was able to go to Alaska to photograph its amazing beauty.  I'm featuring images of Alaska in this year's Open Studios -- mountains, streams, glaciers, bears and moose!!  I also will be showing some photos from my recently completed trip to Death Valley. I hope you'll have a chance to stop by my home studio in East Somerville to see those images from my trips. This year, in addition to framed photos, I'll also have metal prints and photo cards for sale.

     Once again I was very honored, for the third year in a row, to have my image selected to be on the cover of the December 2022 Sierra Club magazine.   I continue to explore ways to use my art to support environmental justice.

  You can see all my new work on my website - www.staneichner.smugmug.com,  as well as over 500 other images of mine.
