LICM launches its A Community of Artists series with Brooklyn artist Julie Peppito and her exhibit After Nature. Julie approaches all of her artwork with the environment in mind, taking a closer look at our impact on nature.

By wondering what happens to broken toys and other “trash,” Julie explores repurposing found objects, broken toys and other items by incorporating them into her artwork. Creating beautiful sculptural pieces that have a deep message woven into them, Julie challenges viewers to think about their impact on the world and demonstrates that art can allow children and adults to speak about issues that are important to them through visual imagery.
Julie uses imagery, lines, raised patterns and repeating motifs to create transitions from the two-dimensional to three-dimensional in her mixed media textiles, drawings, paintings and sculpture.
A Community of Artists series will include three exhibitions in the KaleidoZone Gallery and artists-led workshops for visitors and schoolchildren.
