Welcome!

I started this blog because of my interest in natural and nontoxic art materials. I have been an acrylic painter for many years, and I find it increasingly difficult to ignore the environmental problems of the planet. As a result, I have begun to experiment with various natural materials in my art, and I want to showcase the work of other artists who are also working with natural materials.

My own experiments have involved using mold to create patterns on canvas:






And painting with dry Earth pigments in a soy milk binder:






Other artists are using all sorts of materials including rust, wax, plants, clay, and minerals. I look forward to sharing their work with you.
