Eden Light is an emerging interdisciplinary artist whose upbringing was in the deep green forests of San Juan Island. Light spent her childhood examining insects and plants, climbing Douglas firs, and investigating tide pools. Her current work lies at the intersection of drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, and ecological research. Integrating traditional and experimental processes—such as mineral pigment and hide glue, copper etching, natural inks, and ceramics—she examines cycles of transformation and the poetics of ecological systems.
Light graduated from Fairhaven College at Western Washington University in 2024 with an interdisciplinary degree titled "Integrative Ecological Art.” While at university, she took field ecology courses, hands-on studio art courses, and creative writing courses. During her time at WWU, she participated in both a group and duo exhibition in the B Gallery. Light is a two-time recipient of the San Juan Island Emerging Artist Grant. Currently, Light lives on San Juan Island, sustaining a studio practice and working as a teacher and program coordinator at Alchemy Art Center.
