Sarita Doe’s plein air painting and pedagogical practices are nodes within mycelium for planetary liberation. She collaborates with habitat and Indigenous sovereignty movements to dismantle anthropocentrism and grow the Ecocene. This is an imagined, emergent, and ancient-futurist geologic era to dismantle empire with Earth-centered rituals of reciprocity.

Native plants, watersheds, elders, and more-than-human species inform her natural pigment paintings with stories of traditional ecological knowledge, grief, and survival. Motherhood drives her desire to generate creative, educational, and economic shifts in culture from extraction to cultivation.

Sarita is co-founder of the DIY PhD and School for the Ecocene Cooperative, author of Textbook for the Ecocene, creator of the DIY PhD Activity Deck, and illustrator for Earth Doula by Queen Hollins. She received an MFA from UCLA in 2012 and was a recipient of the 2024 Cali Catalyst Award. Sarita has exhibited her work in New York, Los Angeles, Mexico, and San Francisco. She is currently based in Ohlone Lands, learning with her daughter, mountain apu, deer kin, chosen family, and Celtic-Andean ancestry.
