Nature Studies, the new series of drawings, paintings, and sculptures from artist Sara Marlowe Hall was created during her residency at Salmon Creek Farm in Albion, Northern California. Studies based on elements from the landscape around her, the works were inspired by the light as it moved through the redwoods surrounding her abode, and through walks along the varied landscapes of the coastline.

The drawings are made on cotton torn paper using pastels, watercolor and charcoal. Their wooden frames take the viewer into the perspective of the artist looking out the cabin window. In addition to the drawings and paintings, Sara made sculptures from the materials she collected and archived, elements of the land where the work is based.
