Nature, Awe & Artist

An offering as part of the Abundance Festival in Dorrigo, 6 – 8 April 2018. All offerings at this festival are a gift.

Reconnect with nature and your own creativity.

Learn to see nature through the eyes of an artist. No artistic talent required. We will slow right down and explore different ways of perceiving and appreciating the natural world all around us. We will be guided through experimenting with mark making and drawing. We will try to reconnect to nature and our innate freedoms of exploring and wonder.

Bring 3 things from nature that have caught your eye to contribute to the pool of objects to draw.

Bring paper, pens, paints, whatever you like to draw/paint with – paper, ink and brushes will also be supplied.

Fiona is an artist interested in healing the separation between nature and humans. To make the shift from an industrial growth society to a life-sustaining society we need to notice the natural world around us and normalise an attitude of caring and reverence.

NatureAweArtist workshop

Date: Saturday April 7, 2018
Time: 1-3pm
Location: Dorrigo High School, as part of the Abundance Festival

I live and work on the beautiful lands of the Gumbaynggirr people. These lands were stolen. Sovereignty was never ceded.
I do my best to offer love and respect to all their Elders; past, present, and future.
I extend this respect and reverence to all Indigenous Elders across all nations throughout the world.
Let’s look after them and the old stories they hold from the land. We all need them more than ever.
