“You carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment. In that insight of inter-being, it is possible to have real communication with the Earth, which is the highest form of prayer.” Thich Nhat Hanh
Bee a Nature Co-Creator. Weaving with Nature
My name is Mary Kraemer. I’m a nature co-creator artist and teacher. I love to really work with people where they are with nature. My hope is to help more people create more familial bonds of love for the environment in this critical time. I work in different settings to combine art and nature programming. My experiences include: elderly centers, therapeutic children’s home, adults with disabilities, “Artist in Residence”, all age and ability summer camps. I love to provide inspiration and what right action for others to do. I do this by adding layers of understanding, multisensory experiences. My classes include: gardening, nature art, flower arranging, painting murals, tile mosaic, weaving, digital media, stop motion animation, storytelling, climate club, and earth art activism (#earthivism).

In my “Bee a Nature Co-Creator, we explored natural green magic and express our feelings using nature’s language. With wind, water, earth, climate, flowers, we used digital devices, to record nature’s expressions and made stop motion animation, videos, sound and photo stories and natural art out in nature with natural materials on hand. Bee A Nature Co-Creator invites participants to explore their own relationship with the environment while sharing stories and creating with natural, traditional, and digital art materials and techniques. All content created during this course will be compiled and processed into shareable images, video clips, and podcasts. The goal of this project is to cultivate an interest, knowledge, and awareness of media creation and the world around us.
