The Botanical Range…….
Cath met Tracy Spiers, at the beginning of the year, for an article she was writing on Cath’s work and projects as an entomological (insects) artist, illustrator, conservationist and educator.
Coming from similar backgrounds, as female artists who strongly believe in their own chosen subject matter and causes, they felt a mutual respect for each other….so much so that Tracy decided to write about Cath in her Blog, “Tracy Spiers – Professional Practice” , Monday, 13 January 2014
These are the dates booked, in which Cath will be running insect-related arts and crafts sessions or microscopy workshops for young entomologists and bug fans…….
