Nature-Inspired Exhibit at Ridges

The Ridges Sanctuary will host an artist reception for its new installment of Inspired by Nature on May 26, 4-6 pm, at the Cook-Albert Fuller Nature Center, the exhibit will feature weavings by Mary Burns as well as scientific illustrations by Rebecca Jabs. Artist comments will be at 5 pm. 

Burns weavings feature women who are water-walkers, scientists, teachers and healers, all who hold deep connections with water. The intent of this globally-inspired exhibit is to help develop and strengthen our own ties with water and inspire actions to protect our waters. 

Works by Jabs will include original illustrations in watercolor from Wisconsin’s Wild Lakes, the 2021 book authored by naturalist John Bates. Jabs’ illustration work centers on the native flora and fauna of Wisconsin’s natural communities, honoring scientific accuracy while celebrating the beauty that inspires us in nature.
