Recently I began following a blog called trees in art. Trees are so unique and beautiful along with providing so much to the human existence including fresh air, water filtration, ground covering and shade. Even if these things were not vital for life, trees and other plant life are known to have medicinal purposes beneficial for curing health concerns arising in western society.
One reason I want to focus on the tree is to bring awareness to the consumption of our resources. And encourage mindfulness of the loss of beauty and diversity we loose with each species of tree lost. The work below is a screenprint capturing the beauty and the essence of what trees can inspire humanity to produce in art.
