The earth tells stories. It’s language is color.

Narrative Terrains uses color as a catalyst for exploration, curiosity, and creativity to nurture new perspectives and connections with our planet and its cultures.

Merging Art + Science + Activism – we aim to share our knowledge, foster community and personal connections, shine light on environmental and social issues to continue the dialog towards action and adaptation, and establish a deeper appreciation for the earth, it’s gifts and the artistic process that flourishes with mindfulness.

We invite you to participate in our projects, color/stories archive, community forum and workshops and to visit the site often for updates, news, foraging and art techniques, and knowledge shares.  We hope you find this a valuable resource to your own creative endeavors.
