A Botanical and Artistic study of common forms of New England Lichen
with Greg Roberts and Daryl Albertson
This one day workshop will provide a botanical basis to help guide an artistic interpretation of local ‘Lichen’ forms.
A variety of living lichen material (salvaged from areas undergoing change and disturbance) will be provided as a basis for artistic study – to be guided by Daryl, and a riveting introduction to lichen biology by Greg.
Both Greg and Daryl have had long careers in conservation, making time for their art. “We feel 2026 is time to again share our love of nature in the craft of art.” Art background: Search Daryl Albertson – Artavita.com
For those with a long memory, Greg & Daryl ran a series of Art Society Art Retreats across local environs including retreats to Milani, Sunlight, and The Eastern Fall.
