Wendy J. Costa is an artist living in the northwest corner of Connecticut. She is a fierce advocate for the Earth, and uses her infrared photography to bring attention to its beauty and fragile state.

Artist-transformed birdhouses were for sale at Washington Art Association in early October. Proceeds went to WAA’s program development; unsold houses were donated to Habitat for Humanity homeowners. My contribution is below right. I covered the house with selections of my infrared sky photographs. I thought the birds would be comfortable living in a “sky house.”

I was proud to be selected for the recent exhibition at Spring Hill Vineyards which celebrated 100 years of the Steep Rock Association. Three of my infrared photographs below of Macricostas Preserve, part of the Steep Rock properties, were selected for this show in September 2025.
