I had the pleasure of catching up with Lisa Lipsett recently, an artist from Salt Spring Island (on the West Coast of Canada) who is doing some fascinating work as an artist and educator in connecting to nature through art-making. (There seems to be lots of environmental art happening in British Columbia – may it’s all that makes for such fertile ground!) She’s designed a process she calls Creative Nature Connection, that is, in her words “a nature-inspired practice of artful connection to ourselves, each other and the world.” This is more than simply art-making in the great outdoors, but involves connecting to the self and with nature by “letting the inside out, and letting the outside in.” She’s written a book about this called Beauty Muse: Painting in Communion with Nature, and runs programs and workshops around the country as requested. She also has a terrific website, well-worth a visit to learn more about her approach. Find it at:
Maybe there’s something in the water in BC…
