EXPLORATION

NATURE'S SPLENDOUR

For artists, spring is more than a change in weather—it’s a catalyst. Colours feel electric, movement flows with ease, and every brushstroke, every mark on the page, becomes a conversation with the world. Nature’s Splendour invites us to explore that dialogue—to translate what we see into what we make, whether through delicate details or bold abstraction.

Plant the seeds,
Harvest the splendour

Creativity, like nature, thrives in seasons. This spring, let inspiration take root with four artists who turn the world around them into expressive, intentional works of art. Explore Nature’s Splendour and see how the seeds of observation grow into something beautifully original.

As Artists' See It...

Meet the Artists
"I’m trying to do more than just depict my surroundings, I’m really trying to express how it feels, smells, sounds. I’m trying to capture the sensation, like being in the woods, where there is so much happening around you, yet it all works."

– Meghan Hildebrand

Meet the Artists
“I feel incredibly lucky to call this place home! Everything around me—mountains and trees, lakes and creeks, mist and sunshine—inspires my soul to create and translate the emotions of peace and serenity onto paper.”

– Elena Markelova

Meet the Artists
“My ultimate dream would be that the person relates to it because of their own memories, their own background, their own story… and that they see a bit of themselves in it. Because I think we are all connected through nature in many ways.”

– Paula Barrantes

Meet the Artists
“there’s just so much uncertainty and chaos in the world, especially right now. I feel like any opportunity that you can give yourself to just step away from the screen, go out in nature and make something almost feels like a little act of rebellion for me. Getting out and plein air painting is as much of a meditation and an act of self-care as it is, you know, part of my professional practice.”

– Laura Bifano
