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

Live happily, you're worth it. Collaborations Rooted in Trees and BooksOnce upon a time, I was a librarian — and a closeted handmade-paper bookmaker. My love of books runs deep, and so does my love of trees. My next two art projects bring these passions together with two artist friends. Fine woodworker Mark Whitcomb and I are creating a Coat Tree with Nuthatches — a functional sculpture that celebrates both craftsmanship and nature. And master bookbinder and conservator, Carolina Veenstra and...
Live happily, you're worth it. Spotlighting Stories That Inspire In the early stages of making his film, Bob Nesson met with me and poet/writer Charles Coe, who teaches poetry in various settings, including prisons. Part of my creative life has been devoted to spotlighting people who follow their passion for the natural world or social change. I’ve done this through documentary films, illustrations, and collaborations with people from all walks of life. Today I'd like to highlight John Walsh,...
