    Nature Journaling: 

    Blending art and science to see the world with wonder


    Slow down, look closely, and let your sketchbook become a window into the hidden wonders of nature.  In this class, we'll use drawing, color, and writing to capture the beauty of plants, wildlife, and the landscapes around us.  Each page is both artwork and a scientific record, helping us notice patterns, behaviors, and details we might otherwise miss.

    We'll start in the studio with simple techniques, then step outside when we can to observe the living world firsthand.  Along the way, you'll deepen your knowledge of local flora and fauna while cultivating a sense of curiosity and connection with the natural world.  

    All levels welcome--bring your sketchbook and your sense of wonder!


    Day and time: Tuesdays 4:30 - 6:00 pm

    Tuition: $120(4-week month) / $150 (5-week month), payable at the beginning of the month

    To register, contact Jessica at Sub.dio@gmail.com or 936-581-4063.


    Jessica's work features strong connections to narrative and nature. She enjoys making images that move between traditional drawing practices and digital painting. She attended the Maryland Institute College of Art (BFA) and the Vermont College of Fine Arts (MFA).

    Jessica is based in the greater Houston area; when she is  not drawing she enjoys the outdoors, reading a good book, and spending time with her family.
