Art that Breathes: The Healing Nature of Botanical Art - Teleseminar
October 26, 2023 @ 9:00PM EASTERN
**********************************Art that Breathes: The Healing Nature of Botanical Art
Tony(a) will share her journey as a community herbalist /educator over the past 25 years and how her relationship as an earth stewart and the plants has led to this new chapter of her work "Art That Breathes".
We will explore how partnering with plants to make art is a healing practice which deepens our healing practices and our relationship with plants. We will explore how to integrate ethical harvesting and tenants of ecological herbalism into our practice.
We will survey several ways in which plants are used in the visual arts as inspiration and as material. Making art in collaboration with plants offers healing ranging from the many benefits of creativity and deepening one's relationship with plants and strengthening one's relationship with place.
We don't need to take plants orally to experience the medicine.********************
Tony(a) Lemos works at the intersection of art and herbalism and has worked as a community herbalist/educator for over 25 years helping people connect with plants as allies for healing (physical /emotional and spiritual).

She is inspired by all aspects of the natural world and the elements and works actively with the alchemical processes of Green World, be it eco-printing, alternative photography methods or foraging and medicine making. Her artwork and healing work is process based centering around relationship, well-being, creativity, connection and co-existence.
