Exhibition. My Places, Our World: An exhibition of paintings by Dee Mclean @ Highgate Gallery
Nov 15 @ 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:

Dee McClean: My Places, Our World @ Highgate Literary & Scientific Institution
Nov 20 @ 1:00 pm – 7:00 pm

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

Jazz in the House: Emily Masser & Alex Clarke Quintet @ Lauderdale House
Nov 21 @ 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

Join rising British stars Emily Masser and Alex Clarke for an evening of fiery, straight-ahead music as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival.

A student at the Guildhall School of Music, Emily Masser’s range, variation and seemingly effortless delivery reflect a confidence and ability which belie her years. Her strengths as an arranger and vocalist have received multiple plaudits, highlighting her scat singing in particular.

As a finalist at the BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year 2020, winner of the Rising Star category in the 2019 British Jazz Awards and Jazz Newcomer of the Year nominee in the 2021 & 2022 and 2024 Parliamentary Jazz Awards, Alex Clarke is one of the most in-demand and versatile young reeds players to have emerged on the British jazz scene. Lauded for her extensive repertoire list and intelligent ear for harmony, her sound is steeped in the tradition of bebop and her deep respect for the heritage of the music can be heard in a hard-swinging, melodic approach reminiscent of Scott Hamilton and Lester Young, with strong bop influences of Phil Woods and Cannonball Adderley.

Performing alongside them are some most respected names in British jazz: pianist Graham Harvey, drummer Steve Brown and Dave Green on bass. This generational mix of performers is not to be missed.

Exhibition. My Places, Our World: An exhibition of paintings by Dee Mclean @ Highgate Gallery
Nov 27 @ 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:
