The Sunshine Coast Nature Sketchers' practice is rooted in collective curiosity, shared inquiry, connectedness with each other and nature, and a desire for deep learning through nature sketching.
This two week, group residency will involve mindful observation and practicing connection through slow walking along the Reserve tracks, and collectively ‘seeing’ and sharing of knowledge to enrich each other's creativity. Whilst undertaking their work, visitors to the Rainforest Discovery Centre will be able to see how the collective experience not only nurtures personal and creative growth but also creates a deeper connection between people and the environment. Sunshine Coast Nature Sketchers will also demonstrate the wide diversity of approaches that can be taken when nature sketching, through different personal styles and mediums.
