David Rosenthal
Friday, Nov. 3, 6:30 pm
Alaska State Museum
David Rosenthal has painted glaciers for the last 48 years. From the Arctic to Antarctica, his work chronicles the retreat of glaciers and sea ice. Painting at the End of the Ice Age documents the effects of climate change within one lifetime. For the exhibition, Rosenthal worked with a group of scientists from around the world to create interpretive panels that accompany his paintings.
David Rosenthal lives in Cordova. Before becoming an artist, he studied physics. He has traveled with the U.S. Coast Guard Art Program, the Antarctic Artist and Writer Program, and the Alaska Artists in the Schools Program. He worked in Greenland at Summit Camp as a contract science tech employed by the National Science Foundation and worked as science support contractor in Antarctica for the National Science Foundation.
Rosenthal will give a talk about how these experiences have informed his art.

Camille Seaman
Friday, Nov. 17, 5:30 pm
Alaska State Museum & via Zoom
Camille Seaman’s photographs concentrate on the fragile environment of the polar regions, providing the message: “we are of this Earth, and we only get one.”
Born on Long Island, Seaman is of Shinnecock, Montaukett, African American, and Italian ancestry. She was raised to celebrate the interconnection of humans and their environment, a way of seeing the world that shapes her approach to photography today. She has travelled from Alaska to below the Antarctic Circle, photographing the landscape and its inhabitants. Over the last two decades she has witnessed and documented the effects of climate change on the Earth’s polar regions.
Seaman is the guest juror for Alaska Positive, a statewide photography exhibit in its 53rd year.
