"...it is likely that greenhouse warming will cause hurricanes in the coming century to be more intense globally and have higher rainfall rates than present-day hurricanes." - Tom Knutson, Senior Scientist, NOAA/GFDL

This collection of paintings and drawings are inspired by the stormy intense weather that is becoming all too common. From your average thunder storm to spring's expected tornado season to late summer's hectic hurricane seasons.

​Storms have had no trouble finding a way to inspire artists for centuries. This collection is currently in the works and is inspired by all that creates those dark clouds in the sky that we find so beautiful and so terrifying. 

"Within the scientific community it’s a relatively well-accepted fact that as global temperatures increase, extreme precipitation will very likely increase as well. Beyond that, we’re still learning.” - Joao Teixeira

"It is an established fact that human-induced greenhouse gas emissions have led to an increased frequency and/or intensity of some weather and climate extremes since pre-industrial time, in particular for temperature extremes. Evidence of observed changes in extremes and their attribution to human influence (including greenhouse gas and aerosol emissions and land-use changes) has strengthened since AR5, in particular for extreme precipitation, droughts, tropical cyclones and compound extremes (including dry/hot events and fire weather). Some recent hot extreme events would have been extremely unlikely to occur without human influence on the climate system." - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report
