DWELL, Juror’s Choice Award,
Juniper Rag Online Exhibit, March 2026
Curatorial Statement
Nedret Andre’s work arrives at a moment when Boston’s creative and corporate communities are being asked to think more expansively about responsibility, place and impact. Through her practice rooted in intentional observation and material sensitivity, Andre draws our attention to fragile coastal ecosystems—not as distant environmental issues, but as living systems that shape our economy, culture and our collective future. The work operates at the intersection of aesthetics and advocacy. Nedret’s work is visually compelling, intellectually grounded and also deeply attuned to how rising waters, shifting shorelines and human intervention redefine the spaces we inhabit. This resonates with us at Juniper Rag and with our juror, who is invested in healthy coastal environments.
From a curatorial perspective informed by Jess Klay’s careful choices and Juniper Rag’s forward-leaning ethos, we see Andre’s work as especially powerful in public-facing environments. Offices, lobbies, and shared corporate spaces are no longer neutral backdrops. They are cultural statements in the most demonstrative way. When companies integrate art that reflects ecological awareness, they signal leadership, accountability, and long-term thinking. The presence of this kind of work fosters daily engagement, encourages reflection, and contributes to the employee wellness that Jess speaks about—reminding people that their work exists within broader environmental and civic ecosystems.
For organizations seeking cultural credibility, Andre’s work offers an immersive connection. It establishes a visual language of care and consciousness, positioning a company as an active participant in the future of its region. In a coastal city like Boston, that message resonates deeply. Art in public and professional spaces becomes a form of leadership—shaping how teams feel, how visitors perceive a brand, and how institutions demonstrate their commitment to community, environment, and the power of ideas.

RENEWAL at Province Town Art Association and Museum
March 13- April 26, 2026
Opening Reception: Friday March 20, 2026, 6PM
The Soft Return is about seagrass in the spring how new shoots form underwater through their rhizomes. So it’s perfect for the theme of renewal !!!
Renewal speaks to cycles of change: personal, environmental, political, spiritual, or material. It can be quiet or radical, hopeful or uneasy. As we melt into Spring, we invite artists to explore renewal as rebirth, repair, repetition, resistance, healing, decay, or transformation.
What does it mean to begin again? What must be shed, restored, composted, or reimagined for renewal to occur?

Bay State Without Beaches: stories of the shoreline
I’m honored to share that Unravelled, along with several of my seagrass-inspired abstract paintings, will be on view at the Lynn Museum as part of Bay State Without Beaches: Stories of the Shoreline, presented in collaboration with Save the Harbor/Save the Bay.
This powerful multimedia exhibition explores the impact of climate change on Massachusetts shorelines through personal narratives, environmental research, and contemporary art. My work contributes an abstract interpretation of coastal ecosystems—translating the movement, fragility, and resilience of seagrass meadows into layered, gestural form.
Join us for this collaborative exhibition highlighting coastal conservation, climate awareness, and the future of our oceans.

Opening Reception:

Unravelled, Oil on Canvas, 48″x60″, 2025
Unravelled captures the quiet moment when turbulent waters give way to calm — a gentle pause between motion and rest. Through the shifting tides, barnacles and mollusks release their hold, drifting freely in the tranquil aftermath. Once anchored to the sea floor, they now float in a luminous space between worlds — where change becomes a natural rhythm rather than an end.
The painting reflects this peaceful transition after movement, when currents settle and new patterns of life emerge. In this suspended stillness, the ocean invites reflection — a reminder that letting go can be part of renewal, and that balance often returns in the wake of change.

Something Lost, Something Gained at Sara Nightingale Gallery, NY
Something Lost, Something Gained features artists who work closely with nature. Integrating found objects with a diverse range of other mediums, these artists view the environment through an empathic poetic lens. They seek out beauty in decay and imperfection, even in death. The grouping of works, whose subjects include birds, nests, seagrass, bark, fungi and flowers, together form a narrative in which works speak to one another through overlapping metaphors and symbolism.
My Embayment painting is featured in Something Lost, Something Gained group exhibition at Sara Nightingale’s Gallery in Sag Harbor, NY. The painting references how even in the same embayment, just having slight temperature variation can impact whether seagrass thrives or is lost. It’s a reflection on the variability of nature even in the same bay and how it impacts our shore lines.
I am thrilled to be exhibiting with artists Monica Banks , Laurie Lambrecht, Scott Bluedorn, Barbara Thomas, Jeffrey Fitzgerald, Shirley Irons, Erica-Lynn Huberty, and Rossa Cole.

Submerged Ecologies at
Dallin Museum's Cutter Gallery
Submerged Ecologies:
Dec. 7th 2024- January 31st 2025
Opening Reception : 12- 5PM
Scientist & Artist Talk: 1-2PM
Bridging the realms of scientific inquiry and artistic expression, Nedret Andre and Diana Chin represent pioneering voices at the intersection of marine ecology and visual storytelling. Andre’s intricate paintings and research illuminate the delicate ecosystems of marine seagrasses, transforming complex biological narratives into vibrant, evocative canvases that invite viewers to explore the hidden world beneath oceanic surfaces. Complementing Nedret’s artistic vision, Diana Chin’s expertise in marine conservation and environmental communication provides critical context, offering nuanced insights into the ecological significance of these underwater landscapes and the urgent need for marine habitat preservation.
In “Submerged Ecologies,” Nedret Andre’s new series of abstract paintings explore the underwater world, transforming marine environments into vibrant, evocative compositions Through bold, saturated brushstrokes and nuanced color palettes, the series invites viewers to experience the dynamic rhythms and delicate ecosystems hidden beneath the ocean’s surface. Paintings like “Estuarine Waters” and “Floating Seagrass” capture the fluid, living essence of underwater landscapes—from energetic, sunlight-infused scenes bursting with warm oranges and reds to more contemplative, misty expanses of gray and blue—while simultaneously serving as a poignant visual plea for marine conservation. By distilling the ocean’s complex beauty into abstract forms that pulse with organic movement, the artist creates intimate portals into these fragile, often unseen worlds, challenging viewers to recognize the profound wonder and ecological significance of our planet’s underwater realms.
ARTIST STATEMENT
SUBMERGED ECOLOGIES
The ocean’s underwater realms have long captivated my imagination as an abstract painter. Teeming with vibrant life and ever-shifting patterns of light and shadow, these submerged habitats offer an endless wellspring of inspiration. In my “Submerged Ecologies” series, I strive to express the feeling of being beneath the waves, immersing them in the dynamic beauty of seagrass environments.
Rather than rendering these scenes literally, I distill their essence into abstract compositions that evoke the rhythmic sway of seagrasses, the interplay of cool and warm hues, and the graceful forms of aquatic flora and fauna. My paintings are not mere representations, but rather contemplations of the wondrous, fragile worlds that lie just beneath the surface of the sea.
In “Estuarine Waters,” I employ bold, saturated brushstrokes in vibrant oranges and reds to capture the energy and diversity of a lush, colorful underwater ecosystem. The warm tones evoke the glow of sunlight filtering through the water, while sweeping gestures suggest the undulating motion of seagrasses and other marine vegetation. Organic, biomorphic shapes move across the canvas, hinting at the myriad of lifeforms that thrive within this vibrant habitat.
In contrast, “Floating Seagrass” explores the more muted, atmospheric qualities of a submerged environment. Soft washes of gray and blue create a contemplative, hazy mood, evoking the filtered light and tranquil currents of an estuary. Gentler, feathery brushstrokes convey the graceful sway of aquatic plants, while abstracted forms suggest the presence of diverse organisms beneath the surface.
These paintings are the result of my deep appreciation for the ocean. My hope is that they will inspire others to take notice of the beauty and fragility of our marine environments, and to play a role in protecting them for the future.
