A nature journal is a place to focus your attention, and a way to learn to see and understand nature. This practice also enhances your observations, curiosity, gratitude, reverence, joy and awe. It helps you open your sense of curiosity, thinking, and memory.

As an artist, nature journaling has deepened my understanding of nature, helping me to see and observe connections of time, place, and habitat, deepening my artistic practice and appreciation of nature. If you want to improve your artistic skills, your naturalist skills, or your phenology skills connected to nature, why not give nature journaling a try? 

Who Should Learn?

Just as each of us are unique, so is our nature journal. You do not need to be an artist or a naturalist to begin. There is no right or wrong way to journal. However, picking up a journal can feeling daunting and intimidating. Luckily, there’s a class for that! In these classes, you will learn skills in observation and drawing along with various ways to approach your nature journaling practice.

If you are curious and love nature or want to learn and observe the world around you, this is the place to start. As an artist, I approach nature journaling from the perspective of an artist, gardener, birder, and nature lover. Whether you are a teacher, naturalist, phenologist, gardener, parent, student, or simply interested in exploring the idea of nature journaling, these classes will help you dive deeper into your journaling practice.

Learn to Nature Journal

These four classes will get you started on your path to nature journaling. I will walk you through the process of observing, looking, questioning, and thinking. More than creating pretty pictures, our journals will guide our curiosity and be a record of our experience.
