the artist

my name is Nera Cornell. i'm an ecologist by education, with a focus on ecosystem restoration. my heart is full when i witness our world and weave art through a lens of curiosity. tread softly amongst this wilderness...

materials

i'm a mixed-media artist, flitting between different mediums. i work with watercolour and linocut printing.

earth

my inspiration is infused by nature. the ecosystems in the United Kingdom. plants and animals living here in Scotland, where i currently call home.

the power and unravelling chaos of nature thrills me. i aspire to reflect all these soft, joyfull, piercing energies fill my artwork.

spirit

art has always wandered amongst the spirits through my experience. deeply connecting to body: human and beyond.

i love to meditate amongst plants. brambles, nettles and a myriad of other species. softly sitting together. the wind rushing through us all.

community and connections are so important to me. i dream of my art bringing love and conversation into people's lives. making you feel connected to me, all of us, and our world.
