Beauty, The Invisible Embrace
John O'Donohue turns his attention to the subject of beauty -- the divine beauty that calls the imagination and awakens all that is noble in the human heart.

My medium of choice is watercolour. Watercolour is never boring, I love the unpredictability in it, the surprise factor as I watch the colours mingle and blend on the paper in front of me. I love the depth that can be created with watercolour; the layers are transparent so their stories
can be told.

4 Tips for Writing a Good Artist Statement
Writing an artist statement can be a daunting task. The prospect of composing a concise summary of your art practice to help others understand your work is understandably intimidating. However, having a clear, direct artist statement is essential, particularly on applications for grants, art schools, open-call exhibitions, residencies, and other career-advancing opportunities.

Expeditionary Art
I work in the tradition of traveling artists as naturalists and educators. Since 2005, I have focused on painting polar and glaciated regions where I have often collaborated with scientific teams. In the field, I sketch with ink and watercolor, and collect multimedia recordings to build my palette of place, a record of experience, climate, and color. I develop this work into studio paintings for exhibit as well as presentations and workshops for audiences of all ages to cultivate observation, scientific inquiry, and environmental awareness.

Manganese Blue
. . . Although manganese dioxide is naturally occurring and used in early prehistoric paintings, it is a dark earth tone bearing no resemblance to the colour we now know . . .

An Art History Glossary for Artists
. . . Any visual artist knows they don’t have to say a word when it comes to describing their art. Sure, let the art speak for itself. But it doesn’t hurt to have a glossary of art terms that could be applied to any given piece of art . . .

Recontextualising botanical art through sound, publishing and painting.
One of the things that intrigues me about her is her use of sound. She spends great amount of time recording the sounds of the area where she sketches her plant-life. These recordings are playing as she paints each piece and are often playing at her exhibitions. So as you are viewing her pieces, you are immersed in the sound of the locality, as well.
Brilliant!
Inky Leaves Blogspot - a great compilation of all that she is accomplishing.
Podcast - a series of conversations with other artists.
Bare Necessities - an activist movement about the importance of plant-based everything.
Inky Leaves - her website.
