What else do you want us to know?
Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are a hundred ways to kneel and kiss the Earth. -Rumi

I teach painting workshops on how to impersonate the way nature creates, dialogue with nature through art-making and develop a practice that supports the understanding that we too are natural.

Check out my new book below- Beauty Muse: Painting in communion with Nature.
I used to be an elementary school environmental educator in inner city Toronto and I have a doctorate in Transformative Learning from OISE/UT.
I paint/draw/write with nature as a way to resonate with beautiful natural pattern. I'm fascinated by the dissolved sense of connection between self and nature that is attained through mindful art making. As an environmental educator I am inspired to help others better see themselves in nature, and nature in themselves.

Hi Lisa, I know, I was going to speak with you but the crowd of avid art viewers swallowed us both..it was fun and an inspiring show...I have used recycled materials for many years in some of my art..bones, chairs, suitcases, bibles and other holy books...hope you can come to my opening Oct 23, 4-9..if you are inclined, I will need help hanging the show on mon Oct 22, probably afternoon , evening...let me know if you can help ..it would be great...

What a fabulous quote - about the relationship between beauty and pattern - and I love how it plays out in your own art. I have always felt this connection between the two most deeply, and so the quote really speaks to me.

I would like to hear your nature voiced poems.
I kind of do this too willing to drop a few lines on you if you are on me.

Cheers
