Welcome to Creative Connection with Nature
I'm so happy you are here!
Welcome ❤️
I have recorded an audio version of the post (with some extra snippets), so if you prefer to listen, this is for you.

The World is My Art Studio & Nature My Materials.
ART will always be... flowing from my heART, coded within nATuRe and within the centre of our eARTh.
Above: Me and my latest book - ‘Drawing Botanical Blooms’. A dream come true to publish my artwork and inspire others to find inspiration in nature to create. Find out more about my arty books here.
Hello there, friend.
I am so happy you’re here. You are so welcome. This Substack space makes me feel a little nostalgic for the old days of blogging. (I started my first blog in 2009) and my intention for this space is to find that feeling I had when I first started writing and sharing my art in those early days of the online world.
I plan on sharing my own journey for a deeper connection with nature through my art so am looking inside of myself to ask what would I like to write about and how could I serve / inspire you.
I’ll start sharing twice monthly studio news in October, 2024 to begin my own journey back to a deeper connection with nature and creativity.
Creative Connection with Nature

Connecting to the healing energy and beauty we find in nature has long been a thread that weaves itself through all of my creative projects. More so now, I feel that I am longing to go deeper, go slower and (re)connect myself back to MORE time in the natural world.
My current work schedule means many hours on the computer and as I now find myself living in both the UK and Spain, I am longing for that balancing and healing energy that nature provides.

This substack will be my little sanctuary to write and share my nature-inspired art as I explore further.

My Intentions for this space
I plan on sharing:
My own explorations into the natural world, being inquisitive, going barefoot on the earth, slowing down and finding my own Creative Connection with Nature.
Paintings and poems inspired by moments in nature
How to tap into the healing energy of nature with creativity
Nature collections from my beachside studio in Spain and my Garden Studio in England.
Monthly studio news
So, this new space is born. A quiet, slow journey back into (re)connecting with nature to inspire my ongoing creative journey. I hope to inspire you along the way.
Love Louise xx
P.S. When I first thought about starting this Substack, I was going to call it Dream-Inspire-Create which was the name of my very first blog. I wrote a little backstory post here if you are interested in reading more about that.
I would LOVE to meet you here!

Hi Louise. Thanks so much for the Audio to accompany your lovely photo’s.
I often find that listening is often much better for me than reading because I can do other things at the same time , whether it’s running the vacuum around or drawing and painting. I look forward to hearing more!
Good morning. What a beautiful read to wake up to. Hello, I'm Helen and since finding the healing power of nature I too am exploring its world. New to Substack, I'm working out how to incorporate my own existing blog footstep conversations started in April (on WordPress) onto here. I look forward to reading your work and to find further inspiration. Thank you so much for this and have eagerly subscribed. Have a beautiful day.
