Jivan Lee studied at Bard College under a full-tuition “distinguished scientists scholarship” and several other fellowships, earning a BA in biology (with an ecology focus) and an MS in environmental policy. During this time he also studied studio art under Joseph Santore, was co-director of an expressive arts therapy project (with which he facilitated workshops locally and internationally), and showed paintings and photography at several New York galleries, as well as in Cambridge, MA. Following his schooling and before starting his environmental consulting business in New Mexico, Jivan made much of his living painting commissions and original art in New York City. In New Mexico his focus has broadened again into environmental work, where he has led research and modeling efforts on an NRDC report on climate change responses in the WCI states between now and 2050; authored reports on green jobs and the oil and gas industry; led a study of sustainable agriculture in the region; and been a UNM instructor at Tierra Lucero’s summer sustainability institute, as well as a facilitator for a land-art workshop with the local Taos area non-profit, Rivers and Birds. In addition to his environmental work, he is currently working on a grant-funded sustainable agriculture photography and art project and recently finished a photography show in Arroyo Seco, NM.
