COMING UP! Art Exhibition and Talk: An Illustrated Exploration of Lichen Lore
Live happily, you're worth it.
Hi there! It's Sue here.
Before I tell you about the upcoming exhibit, let me introduce myself. I am an artist and documentarian working in pencil, pastel, and film to convey my love of people and the planet. I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember.
Over the last year I’ve been working on illustrations for an entertaining and educational book about lichens, authored by Kay Hurley, for the Princeton University Press.
Lichenpedia: A Compendium of Lichen Lore is, in my view, an amalgam of botanical history, science, and art, with glimpses into the workings of lichens and curious minds. It’s due out in May, 2024.
On Thursday, October 5, from 5:30 - 6:30PM you can join us for a sneak preview of the illustrations in the Babbitt Room of the Harris Center for Conservation Education in Hancock, NH. Space is limited, so registration is required: https://harriscenter.org/events/an-illustrated-exploration-of-lichen-lore.
“Art Exhibit and Talk: An Illustrated Exploration of Lichen Lore” will feature a series of poster illustrations I created from my drawings, with descriptions adapted from Kay Hurley’s text. During this program, Kay and I will give a short talk about our work for the book, followed by a Q&A.
The display will be on exhibit in the Babbitt Room of the Harris Center through October 31. Be sure to check out the many fine programs offered by the Harris Center.
Thanks for reading!
All the best,
Sue Edwards
