"ART HAS THE POWER TO TRANSFORM, TO ILLUMINATE, TO EDUCATE, INSPIRE AND MOTIVATE."
~HARVEY FIERSTEIN
Art has the power to change our paradigm, to help us expand our view. Through artwork, we can honor the Sacred, we can visualize the imaginary, and we can create new pathways, new worlds. O.N.E. is happy to recognize the artwork of Nature Evolutionaries in our online gallery. This gallery highlights the work of artists and creators whose co-creative partnership with Nature offers a perspective of healing, growth and change.

Denise Arline
My greatest joy is connecting with Earth, Spirit and the Great Mystery that we are all apart of. My art and photography work is one of the most joyous ways I communicate the spirit of nature and feel the Oneness with all of life. The experience of photographing is the creative happening where the seen and unseen meet in conversation. Whether I am creating art, healing or teaching my goal is to allow the expression of this conversation to occur.

"Art has always been a part of my life. My relationship to art, however, expanded into a new realm when it became my full-time job, creating illustrations for the small organic farm in Santa Barbara, CA that I was blessed to call "home" for some years. These pieces are inspired by the slow, local food movement, interwoven with the beauty of the natural world around us. ~ We are all made from the same stardust, rivers, sunshine, winds, seasonal rhythms, light & dark, newly sprouted seeds, and old growth forests.. Bringing this into conscious awareness, supporting sustainable food systems, and tending to our gardens.. these all cultivate healthy soils and water, create harmony with the surrounding ecosystems, value biodiversity and community, and foster alignment with all that is life-giving! I truly believe this is a vital piece, as we show up to lovingly reciprocate all that this planet gives to us with unending generosity and benevolence. Its is a joy to celebrate Earth's abundant gifts though paint, brushes, ink, and pens."

"It is such an honor and joy to share the healing power of nature through my creations and photography. I'm constantly amazed and moved by the intelligence expressing itself through our natural world. Whether a vast landscape, an intricate, dried seed pod, or humanity itself, the wonders and beauty of Creation are truly moving and without end. My prayer is for all who see my work to have some experience of inspiration, opening and a sense of their own interconnectedness with the One beautiful Life we share. Thank you so much!"

"My inspiration comes from communing with the natural world. I experience a unique peace when I sit with plants. In this meditative state, my connection to them deepens and I can see their energy and essence more clearly. I have translated this into my art by representing their spirit into my work. Unlike traditional scientific botanical illustration, I document the plants by illustrating their personality and spirit and feel them guide me when I am drawing and painting. Medicinal herbs are my main subject focus because I like to use my art as a teaching tool and share information about the healing potential herbs have. I have been working with some of my plant studies on a mural scale because I believe I am altering the built environment with reminders of the nature world."
