Working With The Wild: Artist Creates Breathtaking Art Using Only Natural Elements (20 Pics)

Nothing can hold back a true artist from creating, often leading to the use of unique mediums. Hannah Bullen-Ryner describes herself as an earth artist, utilizing natural materials found in forests. By gathering, matching, and arranging them, she “paints” intricate animal portraits that appear almost magical in their detail and realism. Her ephemeral creations, often delicate and fleeting, are left to the mercy of nature, adding a poetic impermanence to her work. Hannah shared her perspective on the connection between her art and nature: “I describe my work as a collaboration between myself and Mother Nature. She provides my palette, depending on the season, and offers me a safe, connected space to create, beneath an overhanging branch.” While working outdoors, she encounters small creatures along the way, almost like a real-life Disney princess. “I have made a very special friend this year, a little wild robin that feeds from my open palm, who befriended me back in the spring when he was just a tiny speckled fledgling. He visits me daily and often sits with me as I create,” she shared. Now, let’s explore her breathtaking artwork. More info: Instagram | Facebook | Etsy | hannahbullenphotogra.wixsite.com
