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:
www.heath-hands.org.uk and www.jaspercommunityteamsociety.ca
Gallery open: Wed to Fri: 13.00 – 17.00, Sat 10.00 – 16.00, Sun 10.00 – 16.00

FAST
by Kate Barton and Stephen Bennett
“How far would you go to find the perfect cure?”
Fast is the true story of ‘Dr’ Linda Hazzard — complex, charismatic and utterly driven — whose promotion, in the early 1900s, of her own radical fasting cure, gripped the press and divided a nation.
Was she vilified merely as an interfering woman in a man’s world… or were there darker forces at play?
Following huge success in Brighton, Edinburgh and London, playwright Kate Barton and award-winning screenwriter Stephen Bennett have developed the original one-act play to bring you this full-length psychological thriller.
Reviews for the Brighton, Edinburgh, and London runs:
★★★★★
“In Kate Barton, the writer of Fast, they (The Park Theatre) have once again identified an important new voice. We will surely hear more, much more, from Kate Barton”
LONDONTHEATRE1
★★★★
“A powerful play that is sure to have you gripped from beginning to end”
SPY IN THE STALLS
★★★★
“A chilling production…fascinating and entertaining”
THE UPCOMING
★★★★
“‘Unmissable…this psychological thriller plays with your mind and emotions’”

The event will be a presentation and discussion of the architectural and landscaping projects at Highgate Cemetery. This will be led by Hopkins Architects’s, Simon Fraser and Andrew Ardill. Their discussion will touch on how the designs for these projects have responded to the special character of the Cemetery and what is an appropriately modern yet contextually sensitive response. They will be supported by the landscaping team who will discuss their proposals for dealing with the many years of neglect to create a landscape to meet the demands of the 21st Century.

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.
