What’s the point of Pastoral Art? It is to remind us that nature serves as a profound reminder of our deep and meaningful connection to the Earth and our responsibility to care for it and the animals who depend on it for life. Nature reminds me of resilience, adaptability, and patience. It is also the only thing that connects me to the whole world. It reminds me every day to slow down, step back, and give thanks for the present moment, not for what politicians and billionaires try to keep in our heads. Nature does not hate; it inspires.
