We turn to nature for comfort as much as survival. We farm and garden, hang bird feeders, create parks, and cast our lines into the water—constantly finding ways to stay close to the natural world. Even indoors, we surround ourselves with plants and flowers to keep that bond alive. Nature is a powerful force, a boundless mystery, and a source of quiet renewal—even if it’s only glimpsed through a window.
Christina Smith, Artist
Intimate studies of the natural world, brought to life through gouache, pencil, and the occasional whisper of pastel.
