In this article, the author states that the aim of drawing closer to nature is to employ the artistic processes to draw our selves--mind, body, and spirit--closer to nature. When so repositioned, our thoughts and behaviors--artistic and otherwise take on depth, grace, and richness of expression--just what we want for our life and our art. Sections in the article include: (1) Nature Matters; (2) Our Place in Nature; (3) Aligning with Nature; (4) An Encounter with Nature; (5) Expressive Imagery; and (6) Reflection Adds Richness.
