Healing From Nature and Discovering Her Sculptural Materials explores nature as witness, healer, and teacher β humble materials transformed into forms that speak to loss, resilience, and renewal.
Stop by to meet our artist Kathy Bussert-Webb, PhD, MFA β a sculptor who turns discarded objects and organic materials into reflections on healing and the human-nature connection. Drawing on Arte Povera and ecological art, Kathy works with flora, thrifted treasures, natural pigments, paper pulp, and even dried kombucha SCOBY, letting each material's history and imperfections guide the process rather than impose a fixed outcome.
Look closely and you'll find a childhood spent foraging mushrooms and berries, a resourceful refugee mother's ethic of "waste little, transform much," and a personal journey from trauma toward healing β all echoing through white and black, light and shadow, natural forms and animal imagery that speak to protection, separation, and resilience.
