FEN HSU is a visual artist, writer and video creator dedicated to sustainability and the circular economy.
Fen explores themes of environmentalism and renewal in contemporary paintings referencing myth, wildlife, and favorite Pacific Northwest locations. Gestural forms and magic realism impart an ethereal and philosophic presence to her work.
Love for the Land and Advocacy
​
Love for the Land is a force for unity, transformation and healing. The legacy of land conflict, colonialism and the displacement of Indigenous culture and peoples are ongoing sources of division and individual trauma. Looking to natural systems -- the principles of evapotranspiration and the interdependent systems of wildlife -- we find hope in our shared ecological ethos bridging racial and social divides. Fen's contributions to environmental and racial justice, and advocacy for regenerative land management, include publications and video in collaboration with the Ubuntu Climate Initiative, and Unearthodox Voices of Regeneration.
