Making art can be a creative, technical, and meditative practice all-in-one and it is associated with positive mental health outcomes such as concentration, mindfulness, and introspection. Combining the joy and technique of art with the therapeutic benefits of being in nature is The Joy of Botanical Drawing by botanical artist, instructor, and author Wendy Hollender. Join Wendy for a talk discussing why this book is different from other botanical art books, especially Wendy’s previous books, and why it is especially useful in stressful times such as this. August 12, 4:00 - 5:00 PM (Pacific)
