Lisa Reindorf is an architect, artist and environmental activist.
Her work addresses climate change and the conflict of architectural systems and nature. By building into fragile ecosystems, natural patterns are interrupted. The environment strikes back- with rising seas, coastal flooding and polluted waterways
Her current work on climate change, which was started at an art residency at Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, was featured in Art New England Magazine on artists and the environment.
Recently she had a solo exhibit at Brown University Granoff Center for the Arts on Rising Seas and Sinking Cities- with large scale paintings depicting global warming, architectural infrastructure, cities, coastal areas and floods.
She is a visiting lecturer at environmental conferences on how artists depict climate change. Lisa works with other artists, environmentalists and writers on climate change issues.
