Take a journey into the field with our artists as they capture nature in paintings, photographs, ceramics, and sculpture.
Humans have always been inclined to record the beauty of the natural world around them. While artists have long been painting en plein air, the invention of paints in tubes allowed them to more easily paint outdoors. At the same time increasingly faster photo emulsions and shutter speeds, flash photography, and smaller cameras allowed photographers to capture flora and fauna in more remote areas. The legacy of these developments is ever present in the work of the artists included here.
