Through my climate work, I’ve wanted to bring together artists who acknowledge our present environmental moment while imagining pathways toward reconnection and renewal with our living planet. I’m proud to announce unEarthed → reRooting, my latest curation project with the New York Artists Circle (NYAC), co-curated with artist Danielle Warren.
In a time of profound environmental crisis, unEarthed → reRooting brings to light the hidden, disrupted, and complex connection many of us have with the Earth. It explores what it means to unearth: revealing the upheaval of fossil fuel extraction, uncovering suppressed stories, discovering disrupted ecologies, and reclaiming our deep spiritual and biological connections to the natural world. And what it means to reroot–repairing, reimagining, and reweaving our relationship with the Earth and one another.
This is a call for collective climate action. In shared reflection, it invites us to face what is broken so that renewal–and transformation–can take root.

In a world marked by overstimulation and distractions, “Breathe” invites pause. This exhibition of work from the members of the New York Artists Circle explores breath not only as a biological necessity but as a metaphor for presence, reflection and calm. The work examines the power and fragility of breathing — both the literal rhythm that sustains life and the symbolic gesture of reclaiming space in a suffocating world. Breathe becomes both an action and an invitation: to take space, recalibrate and move forward with clarity and care. We aim to help viewers cultivate a mindset of resilience, confidence, courage and inner peace.
I am elated that my largest painting to date "Woven in Time" will be shown in New York for the very first time as a part of "Breathe."

The Mothers In Me Will Meet You There: Paintings by Nicole Cooper is a solo exhibition featuring figurative oil paintings that explores Active Hope in the face of our climate crisis. Through vibrant colors, energetic brushwork, and the human form, these works investigate the complex emotions surrounding climate change while creating pathways toward connection and collective action. In a moment when awareness of climate change is widespread yet action remains elusive, these paintings engage the human dimension that scientific data alone cannot reach, honoring anxiety, grief, love, and hope as valid responses. These vibrantly colored paintings reveal our human, emotional core—flesh and blood interwoven with Earth—expressing a deep-rooted spiritual belonging that emanates from within.
Weaving Possibilities, oil on canvas, 40 x 40 inches, 2024. (Inquire about artwork)
