THE GREAT CANADIAN LEED-SCAPE project is a 53-foot-long, 13 panel painting that explores the natural environment and the recent development of sustainable buildings across Canada. With this project, Shackleton reveals the progress that is being made with the design, construction and operation of energy efficient buildings. More and more developments are making changes by incorporating green roofs, rain gardens, solar energy, geothermal heating/cooling, and urban agriculture. An internationally recognized rating system, called Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), is in effect to classify and encourage these innovations. Using Canada's LEED certification program as a guide, Shackleton pairs Canadian landscapes with brilliant examples of sustainable development across the great Canadian LEED-scape.

Amy Shackleton paints representational works with a drip technique normally reserved for abstraction. She applies the paint with squeeze bottles and rotates her canvas to guide each drip as it falls down the stretched surface.
