24" x 44" - Mixed Medium & Botanicals
Artist - Mary Lou McPeek
Inspired by - Earth is Changing Around Us by the Artemus Ward Middle School Team
Suggested Value: $150.00


"My art is inspired by nature. I use natural materials and encourage everyone to notice the beauty of nature and repeating patterns found in nature to calm our days. I believe anyone who notices a tree in detail and promotes the care and preservation of all nature is doing a wonderful thing for future generations!"

Mary's love of botanicals began early in life. Her family owned a garden center/flower shop. As a child, she was always in the greenhouse. After design school, she was a floral designer there until her recent retirement. She now uses botanicals and natural materials in a new way. Instead of a vased design, she uses many of the same materials such as branches, moss, seed pods etc. but as a framed piece of art. Her pieces are made on the slate, driftwood, or repurposed frames. She believes a piece of art centered on nature can produce a calming effect on the viewer especially in a hectic office environment as well as a home.
