“At the heart of my practice is a desire to share the joy I experience in the wild and to highlight the importance of conservation. I am not a scientist. I am an artist who has witnessed the restorative power of nature. There is clear evidence that time spent outdoors has healing effects. I hope that by drawing attention to species decline and habitat loss, quietly and without didacticism, my paintings may encourage others to cherish what remains. What drives me is the need to paint what I find beautiful and understand to be important. The value lies in the process itself. Through attentive drawing and painting I cultivate awareness,patience, and respect for nature's rhythms.”
― Sheila Anderson-Hardy
