Live happily, you're worth it.

Greetings! It's Sue here.

First, thanks to all who could attend my recent talk and exhibit at the Harris Center for Conservation Education: “An Illustrated Exploration of Lichen Lore.“

​

Thanks also to Kay Hurley for co-presenting with me at the opening; she was a huge hit with her enthusiasm for and knowledge of lichens.

​

This traveling exhibit is based on my illustrations for our book, Lichenpedia: A Brief Compendium, written by Kay and due out in May 2024 by the Princeton University Press.

​

Now I’m happily preparing for my next exhibit which runs Saturday, January 6 - Friday, February 2, 2024. I hope you'll come see it!

​

“Loving a Leek and the Soil It Grows In: The Art and Science of the Soil Biome”
​Opening Reception: Saturday, January 6, 2024, 11 AM - 1 PM
Lawrence Library, 15 Main Street, Pepperell, MA
​With a special performance by singer/songwriter by PJ Rogue

Why this exhibit? ​
I wanted to understand why the vegetables from my local organic CSA farm (Upswing Farm) are robust and super tasty. To find out, I met with soil-health experts Rubèn Parrilla and John Duke of NOFA/Mass. We examined soil from the farm, and I learned about the mutualistic relationship between plants and the soil biome, which contributes to the health and taste of my veggies.

​

The exhibit features my interpretations of the soil critters and minerals we observed under a microscope, plus sketches and paintings of root veggies.
