Community Canvas is an initiative presented by The Culture Show where GBH features artwork from community members on our Digital Mural.
Today’s mural reflects the careful observations and sensory impressions of the changing natural world. As 2024 Visiting Artist at the Native Plant Trust, Julie C Baer depicts old tree trunks and the colors, shapes, and textures of lichens and fungi.
“I want my work to offer viewers opportunities for discovery,” Baer says. “To invite them to go outdoors and observe, to remind them to care for themselves and their habitats.”
For over 40 years, Baer has painted trees, birds, and people. She also published two picture books: Love Me Later and I Only Like What I Like
