'Mother Earth in her full set of clothes'
Illustration from #wearetheark by @wildmarymary
It's not easy to draw the mother, she should encompass everything, great dichotomy exists, and important harmony. She must be moving, growing, evolution and dissolution, a source and end of everything. There should be a sense that she is ancient, which is why I included symbols from our past, and she is also at the same time young, fertile, and beautiful. She holds the energy of the softest petal, and the crashing destruction of the wildest storm. There is a lot going on in this work, many layers, it took a long time for me to feel it was finished. I feel it is now.

There is beauty and strength in wild energy, its something unpredictable and magical. I've tried to show that in this illustration. (There are a few prints of this available if you message my website..)

This illustration from the book is self explanatory. But , who knew the sheer scale of diverse life one humble nettle supports. Nuture your nettles don't chop them down , they are heroic and important. This is also an example how illustrating does require a lot of research, you learn so many things.

This illustration originated from a large tub of pansys that a friend left outside my door, the woolly bears were an addition from childhood , I remember watching them with my mother who is a horticulturalist. I like the communication that happens between different creatures and elements as the illustration evolves and reveals itself. It creates a whole world we can relate to and connects us to nature. Emphasises our part within the whole.
