Members Only – Nature Collage
April 21, 2024 | 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Natural Lands loves our members – here is an event just for you!
Bring out your inner child and create you very own nature collage with artist Ann Hopkins Wilson. This unique experience is designed to inspire creativity and foster a deep connection with the environment. Small collages could be made into greeting cards, or go bigger and create a 3-D collage to display in your home.
Together, let’s celebrate the artistry that exists in every leaf, petal, and breeze.
About the artist:
Ann Hopkins Wilson is a professional artist and has worked as an educator and art therapist.
Ann has been a professional artist for more than 40 years, exhibiting regularly throughout the region. She was represented for 15 years by the Rosenfeld Gallery in Philadelphia. Ann taught fine arts at various institutions and art centers including the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Bryn Mawr College, and Temple University for 15 years.
An abstract painter focused on universal geometric patterns binding nature and man, her work has recently moved to incorporate animal imagery. It is an urgent response to the depletion of species and habitats locally and worldwide. The paintings are prayers to protect, honor, and preserve our natural world.
Saunders Woods Preserve is a natural oasis for wildlife and community residents in the heart of the Main Line. The Bridlewild Trail passes through the preserve and connects to a wider system of paths that wind through the community. A walk here reveals a lively forest habitat as well as an open meadow that is home to a variety of bird species.
