We walk on the soil but we rarely think about it. Yet globally soils need protecting and restoring to life - our life depends upon it! Share my journey finding and hand-grinding local natural pigments, raising awareness of the hidden beauty of soils, and producing beautiful and inspiring art that provides a sense of place.
