Embracing Nature: How Art Can Connect Us to the Natural World

Embracing Nature: How Art Connects us to Nature

How can our connection to nature and art transform the disconnection we

feel in the modern age?

To me, nature is one way that can lead us into this liminal space. It allows us to open to something universal, a place where we are all connected to ourselves and the greater natural world that we are apart of.

Through my art work I'm most interested in exploring this connection and inter-relationship between humans and the natural world. Specific places in nature elicit a sense of profound transcendence, and can instantly connect us to qualities of deep mystery, inspiration, and reverance.

I'm also fascinated by the role that nature and animals play in mental health and collective healing. It’s important to me to get people to ask themselves how we can re-find our sense of purpose and connection by reawakening to ancient parts of ourselves that nature and animals mirror back to us.

As someone who has dealt with high anxiety and stress, nature and the process of creating art has been a huge outlet in how I can connect with my own true being. This is also what I want to share with all of you.
