Margaret LeJeune’s creative practice explores the relationship between art, science, and environmental studies.

Her photographs, installations, and video works have appeared in over 150 solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally. She has been an artist-in-residence at several programs that promote collaboration between the arts and sciences including the Changing Climate Residency at Santa Fe Art Institute, University of Wisconsin – Madison Trout Lake Research Station, University of Notre Dame Environmental Research Center, Ives Lake Field Station at Huron Mountain Wildlife Foundation, and the Global Nomadic Art Project. Her work has been published in Slate, Lenscratch, Oxford American, Urbanautica, Tatter Journal, and books from art.earth press including “Culture, Community, and Climate: conversations and emergent praxis” and “Evolving the Forest“. She is a founding member of the Women’s Environmental Photography Collective and the Vice-Chair of the Society for Photographic Education (SPE).
