artist-ecologist
Silas Fischer (pronouns: they/them) is an artist-ecologist who combines their interests in art and science to benefit both people and birds. They have a BFA in printmaking and a BS in biology from Ball State University and an MS in ecology from The University of Toledo. Silas is currently a PhD Candidate at The University of Toledo studying annual cycle ecology of migratory dryland songbirds and ecological ArtScience. Their current research focuses on the consequences of drought on Gray Vireo population dynamics. Their artwork has been exhibited both nationally and internationally, including exhibitions in New York, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, and England. Though the disciplines of art and science are commonly interpreted as being on opposite sides of the academic spectrum, they can be symbiotic. Silas works primarily in printmaking, drawing, and glass, and incorporates ecology research to challenge categories and to explore under-representation, gender, and queerness to include and engage others in the ways we think about climate change and the natural world.
