Art and Science Exploration Through Nature Journaling
Have you wanted to spend more time outdoors and make a better connection to nature? Would you like to expand your creativity, curiosity, and regain your attention? Nature journaling is the act of using numbers, words and pictures to record the world around you.
Events and Meetups
I offer meetups at no charge where we go to a site and sketch. We meet up and will have a discussion about a nature topic (wetlands, wading birds, pollinators, ect.) and what we may want to work on during our time together. Other times I offer workshops or other events where there is a charge. I try to make things as accessible as possible as I believe science and art should be for everyone!

What do I need to bring to a meet up?
Nature journaling should NOT be expensive. Simple paper and a pencil will do. Ideally you will bring a journal that you can continue to use between meetups and any other art supplies you would like to use. All are welcome. Here is a list:
- paper and art supplies
- curiosity, joy, and ability to try (this is important for people who don’t think they are creatives, you actually are.)
- Water and snacks
- Sunscreen, hat, bug spray, chair or anything that will make you feel more comfortable in an outdoor setting.
