What inspiration can you gain for a personal eco-art concept by studying Patricia Johanson and her work?

Let’s start with the basics of it first. Since 1968, Patricia has been creating works that honor nature and the earth, applying her skills as an artist toward solving environmental issues such as sewage treatment and balancing ecosystems. Patricia is a master of weaving together art with science, people with the environment, and practical solutions with visual beauty. The Arts and Healing Network applauds the impressive scale of her work, her innovative solutions, and her immense vision. I think artists have always been inspired by the natural world — colors, forms, sunlight and shadows, intricate relationships, and ultimately the mystery — because so much of what we see is beyond our ability to comprehend. We seem to internalize our vision of nature in childhood, and for me a key image is the forest, with shafts of sunlight filtering down through the trees, and the overlapping patterns of the forest floor, with its profusion of miniature dwellings and lives. Another childhood image is the living communities that flourish in the cracks of sidewalks. Basically I think we can get inspiration from her from her amazing art and things she did in her life, and always be full of color and not blank and plain. Hope this helps!
