Exhibition. My Places, Our World: An exhibition of paintings by Dee Mclean @ Highgate Gallery
Nov 28 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

Dee McLean: My Places, Our World

Nature may look chaotic, but it is very well organised and we mess with it at our peril.
Highgate Gallery 15-28 November 2024

London artist Dee McLean is set to unveil her poignant trilogy ‘My Places’, a compelling series of paintings and
books that explore the profound effects of global warming on locations dear to her heart. This work journeys
from her home near Hampstead Heath in London, through Louisiana in the US where she worked for part of
her career, to Alberta, Canada, where her daughter Tor lives. She explores how they are all intimately
linked by the changing global climate.

The inception of this trilogy was sparked by a visit to Hudson Bay, Manitoba, Canada, in November 2016.
Witnessing first-hand one of the stark environmental changes due to global warming, the reduction of sea ice,
deeply influenced her work. This trip marked the beginning of McLean’s exploration into the impact of climate
change on her cherished places, from extreme rainfall in Britain to rising sea levels in Louisiana and wildfires
and glacial melt in Alberta.
Her art takes its vision from the geology, flora and fauna of each place, looking to capture the ephemeral
nature of these environments through the lens of climate change. The paintings are a direct response to
the immersive beauty and high value of our ecosystems.
Dee McLean’s background in art and science uniquely positions her to create this impactful work. She
studied illustration at Harrow School of Art and pursued a career in Medical and Scientific Illustration.
Now, she merges her love of science and art in ‘My Places’, aiming to inspire others to recognize their
role in environmental conservation.
McLean has most recently exhibited at Highgate Gallery, London; studioMV, Louisiana and The Jasper
Yellowhead Museum, Canada.
All McLean’s projects have a local charity attached to them. Donations will be made to Heath Hands, the voluntary
organisation on Hampstead Heath and the Jasper Community Team Society who are supporting the community in
one of her ‘Places’, Jasper, Alberta, where a ferocious wildfire, driven by the climate crisis, has recently destroyed.
30% of homes and businesses in the small mountain town. For further information about both these groups go to:

At the dawn of the 20th century, two brothers driven by their dying father’s charge to seize the boundless opportunities of the New World set off to find their fortune. From the frenzy of the Gold Rush to the real estate boom in Florida, Sondheim and Weidman’s complex, catchy, and darkly funny tale based on the true story of the Mizner Brothers chronicles the curdling of the American Dream.

From the team that brought us Assassins and Pacific Overtures, Sondheim’s final finished work is brought to life in all its sharp, vaudevillian glory.

LEARNING
by Francesca Rose

A brand-new play with an original score and captivating movement, LEARNING unravels the poignant journey of Debs and Jonathan—a couple hurtling in opposite directions.

As Jonathan embraces the Jewish faith he’s spent a lifetime evading, Debs, disaffected by years of trying to live up to religious imperatives, yearns to break free. With moments of raw conflict and fleeting calm, they wrestle with the past, grapple with the present, and question whether their love can weather the divide.

LEARNING offers a heartfelt and thought-provoking exploration of identity, belief, and what it means to truly connect with others and with ourselves.
