ONLINE EXHIBIT "SURROUNDED BY NATURE" CALL FOR ART

"SURROUNDED BY NATURE" IS ABOUT NATURE LOVERS  WHO CAN'T IMAGINE LIVING WITHOUT THE BEAUTY THAT IS PERFECT IN ITS IMPERFECTIONS.

IT'S ABOUT FINDING PEACE WHILE STANDING BAREFOOT IN THE GRASS, LOOKING AT THE TREETOPS, LISTENING TO THE OCEAN, LYING AMONG FLOWERS, BREATHING IN THE SCENTS OF THE FOREST.

​

This show is for all women artists (painters, collage artists, sculptors, photographers, fiber artists, installation artists) who incorporate natural elements into their work (landscapes, still life, portrait, figurative work).
