I am excited to announce that the original watercolour art from A Portrait of Astonishing Nature will be on display for the entire spring and summer, at McGill’s Redpath Museum! I am deeply grateful for the Museum to host this work, and their curation of the collection is truly incredible.
This came about in rather unexpected ways -through conversations with the Director of the Redpath, and through an enthusiasm for creating opportunities to celebrate connections between science, arts, poetry, and conservation. The Redpath’s mission aligns so perfectly with the work I am involved with for Creek 53, and they saw the immediate opportunity to create something for the public, to increase education and awareness of biodiversity and natural history.
The Redpath is an extremely popular destination for locals and tourists. It is located in the heart of McGill downtown campus, and is free to the public (opening hours listed here). From its architecture to its dinosaurs, it’s a place that inspires and creates a sense of wonder for visitors. And having the public learn and explore art, and the story of Creek 53, is truly a dream come true. So, if you are in Montreal, do check out the exhibition!
PS It has been along time since I have written on this blog – I will try to get back on track! Things in my professional life have been extremely busy, and I have taken on a new role at the University. However, my love of poetry, art, and nature remains, and I am excited to continue to share here on Nature’s Reverie.
