We'd love to hear from you about this episode.

Nature has always been a rich source of inspiration for artists and a central theme in many famous works.

Interactions with the natural world have created some of our most beloved masterpieces for thousands of years.

Each artist experiences nature differently, reflecting these unique experiences in their artwork.

Nature-based art can be in any medium and can be abstract or realistic.

Painting can be a wonderful way to express ourselves, engage with the world around us, and develop creativity.

A form of therapy, it can help us communicate complex emotions, enhance motor skills, boost confidence, reduce stress levels, and promote mindfulness.

Welcome to Episode Fifty-Seven of the Nature of Wellness ™️ Podcast!!!

In this episode, we spoke with watercolor artist and YouTube educator Jackie Peacock. Jackie invites others to find lifelong strength and connection to the natural world through her paintings. She considers her work “a love letter to the forest.”

Join us as we discuss her passion for the natural world, how nature and creating art served as a safe retreat during challenging parts of her childhood, the power of talking to trees, and the quiet therapy of putting brush to paper.

Jackie shares how she processes emotions through the moody landscapes she paints, how she found a passion for teaching others and practical tips for finding professional success as a creative.

We entered this discussion feeling like blank canvases. We left it covered in brushstrokes of optimism, gratitude, and humanity.
