Artful Nature Communion

Artful Nature communion- where self and Nature meet through creating.

To create with and through Nature is a powerful experience that is accessible to everyone. Through our sensing body, our flesh, we can resonate with all living beings. I began this painting journey by setting the intention to paint my feeling connection to a vase of tulips that sat on my living room coffee table. This one experience inspired me to resonate with and paint "me" over time. I experienced a cycle of metamorphosis as old habits fell away and a new way of feeling and being was born. Soon after I began to explore drawing and painting with Nature as a way to commune. 

Through creating with Nature we are able to give colour and form to Nature connections.We can see how we feel. We can see how they feel. The act of painting and in this case drawing quiets the thinking planning mind so we can better open to a natural encounter. We can use art-making as a way to prepare ourselves to connect and deepen the experience when we are in it.
