My studio is chock-full of twigs, feathers, acorns and other natural treasures picked up on walks. Eventually, these bits get dusty & crumbly, so I return everything to the wild.
When I collect drawings of these treasures, I get to keep them tucked away in my nature journal in their fresh, dust-free state.
I also get the experience of slowing down, immersing myself in nature, and drawing in my nature journal.
I made this sketch on a recent hike in Raccoon Creek State Park. It's lovely to open my nature journal and bring back memories of that day and of making discoveries in the woods.
Would you like some inspiration and instruction on nature journaling?
I hope you'll join me for an in-person Nature Journaling class at the Raccoon Creek State Park Wildflower Reserve on Sunday, April 12th, 2026, from 1-4 PM. Cost is $15.
