Story of Nature | Beauty of the Outdoors

You feel most at home with grass beneath your feet and the sun on your face – exploring the natural landscape which surrounds you. As someone who stops and notices the beauty of the outdoors, you revel in the changing colours of trees in autumn, the gentle ripples on a surface of glassy water. The first, tentative blooms of spring.

We might find you at the Wetlands watching the bird life, walking along the River Lea or adventuring through the undergrowth of Hollow Ponds. And this is exactly where you might also find many of the Artsnug artists as they gather material for their artworks.

From Sarah Barrett’s painterly, up close and personal studies of the marshes to Emma Reynold’s spectacular screen prints – these are artworks to ground you in the beauty of this home of ours, an urban haven full of wild and abundant natural beauty.
