Amy Harff

Amy is an environmental artist, writer, and researcher from Providence, Rhode Island. Her 2023 Thomas J. Watson Fellowship explored the intersection of art and the environment around the world. During that time, she met with over 240 scientists, artists, community leaders, activists, and academics to understand how art can be a tool for change.

When she is not speaking with artists, she is making art. Some recent projects include: facilitating community murals, creating a commissioned tapestry for COP 28’s Hope House in Dubai, making costumes from trash, and drawing large illustrations about projected climate impacts in her community. She is also creating an illustrated book featuring 25 female-identifying SDG changemakers, including Christiana Figueres, Dr. Kim Cobb, Xiye Bastida, and Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner, to name a few.
