Richard Kirk Mills -  Paintings,  Prints,  Environmental art


In 2010 I returned to painting (and gardening) full time after a fourteen year commitment to ecoart and environmental art projects. My intention from 1996 to 2010 was to merge my activism and my art in response to critical local landscape issues i.e., wetlands degradation and habitat loss, primarily through rehabilitation, community engagement and narrative art strategies in the New Jersey Meadowlands.

In a June 14, 2021 interview with Directors of the Teaneck Creek Conservancy I talk about this part of my work:
