Virginia Greene
Virginia Greene, a local nature illustrator, will discuss the relationship between art and the natural sciences in the context of her own life as a biologist and artist. We’ll then discuss the value of sketching from nature and the basics of “seeing” nature with an artist’s intent, followed by a few optional drawing exercises, using both specimens indoors and plants and animals outdoors. Materials and light refreshments will be provided. Come learn another way to appreciate the natural world around us!
Come early - seating is limited, and no standing room is permitted.
