…….. Our direct experience with nature stimulates our imaginations which, in turn, provide the seeds for our creativity to blossom. Nature’s beauty provides unfathomable inspiration for the arts, which uplift our lives. When we destroy nature, we are destroying our own creative and artistic capabilities……

Author’s Comment: Nature provides us with a host of benefits—clean air and water, stabilized soils, physical nutrition, relief from the heat to mention a few. Lesser recognized is its capacity to feed our creativity and uplift our lives. The countless forms of nature provide nourishment to mind and spirit which has cultivated the arts in cultures around the world. Preserving and building better natural environments helps us to build more inspirational works of art.
