​EcoArt Expeditions 
​Adventure - Education - Research - Art
Let's Go Outside! 


Learn about your local ecology through place-based, embodied, and sensory explorations.  
Experience art as a way of knowing. Gain appreciation for the beauty of the natural environment. ​


​Work in the field alongside naturalist, researcher, educator, and artist,  Dr. Lee Ann Woolery to increase your depth of knowledge and understanding of the natural world. She will teach you 'other ways of knowing' ecological systems.  Learn how to read the land’s gestures, codes, and signs by developing skills in keen sensory observation. And learn how to translate your experience into a visual language.  Dr. Woolery promises you will gain the ability to slow down; pay attention to detail; engage in your senses beyond sight; get out of your head and into your sentient body; and truly experience the natural world - perhaps for the first time.​
