Rachael McCampbell is partnering with Tinney Contemporary and The Land Trust for Tennessee for an inspiring and insightful exhibit entitled Endangered Heritage: Nature in the Balance. A native Tennessean, McCampbell recently returned from Los Angeles to Nashville (Leiper's Fork) to be near the source of her inspiration--Nature.

This connection is strongly evident in her body of large-scale, highly textured paintings of North American endangered species, such as the Whooping Crane, Red Wolf, Florida Cougar, Big Horned Sheep, Stellar Sea Lion, Ivory-Billed Woodpecker and the Nashville Crayfish, among others. A central element of the show, designed to further challenge the viewer, is a sculptural monument comprised of actual bird and animal parts--a memorial to extinct species that have been eliminated primarily due to habitat encroachment. The painterly representations of endangered species surrounding the monument act as a hopeful contrast to the macabre sculpture as they uplift and inspire the viewer to action, shining a spotlight on the urgency surrounding our quickly disappearing natural endowment.

A percentage of sales will benefit The Land Trust for Tennessee, a nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving the unique character of Tennessee's natural and historic landscapes and sites for future generations--land that by default preserves birds, animals and marine life from the danger of extinction.

Opening Reception: Saturday, March 21, 6:00pm-9:00pm
