Artist Amanda Maciuba’s work is an exploration of the visible and invisible marks of human hands on the landscape. Her practice investigates human relationships with the environment over time, including the impacts of human-driven climate change.

Her solo exhibition “Watershed,” will be on view at the Great Plains Art museum from April 4-Sept. 20, where she will be the Elizabeth Rubendall Artist-in-Residence April 8-19. Please join us for a reception at the Great Plains Art Museum immediately following the lecture at Sheldon.
