TALKING SHOP: book talks and workshops

As a professor of science communication, I have helped artists add ecological observation to their plein-air experiences. I have encouraged scientists to express their “aha” moments, especially when “aha” becomes “holy shit!” And I have helped fellow adventurers see beyond the scenery of nature into the character, life, and intrigue of wild places.

​

Drawing creates a literal record of what catches your eye, a direct route from seeing to thinking, an excuse to slow down, notice what is around you, and make something of it. By connecting eye and hand in close observation, unexpected details emerge.

 

I work with science and outdoor education organizations to discover ecological treasures with as simple a tool as a pencil and notebook. If that's you, contact me here.
