Alia Knowlan is an artist, educator, and designer exploring the interconnections found within our living world. Her work weaves together art, ecology, and research into earth-based practices such as natural color-making, collage, printmaking, painting, regenerative planting, and multispecies community-building. In her research on natural color, Alia ethically forages and cultivates plants and earth pigments to create an array of colors and artistic tools through low-waste, non-chemical, and regenerative processes.
Her work has been shown across the United States and Europe in spaces such as The Arnolfini Museum, The Paris Collage Collective, and The Centre for Print Research. She facilitates art and ecology gatherings globally and has designed for a wide range of organizations such as Brightside Health and Frog Design. She has a B.F.A. in Graphic Design, a Master’s in Multidisciplinary Printmaking, and is a lifelong student of the earth and her stewards.
