Encounter wild and novel places through the pages…
Hey everyone, I’m Heather Dickinson, and I am a teaching artist and amateur explorer. I started this site in February 2024 without much of a plan beyond sharing my love for our natural world through artistic study in situ, but like most things I get myself into, it has ballooned into it’s own unique expression — an online zibaldone or commonplace book full of sketches both realist and fantastical, poetry, and other creative rambles.

How you can support more art and expeditions:
Pretty much everything I post is free.
If you love what you see here, please consider signing up for a $6/month subscription plan. It’s like buying me a fancy coffee and berry-flavored scone once a month to let me know you enjoy the content. Only, your gracious contribution helps keep this Rather Feral Artist in tea, cookies, new drawing sticks, and expedition supplies so she can make more art. It’s a win-win.
If a monthly subscription or larger patronage is not your style, you may still leave a one-time tip.
Commissions are: CLOSED
I create art in traditional and digital media. Traditional media I enjoy working with includes oil pastel, ink and wash, ink and colored pencil, watercolor/gouache, and charcoal. I began working in digital format (Infinite Painter) in May 2025.
Preferred genres of art include botanical, floral, landscape, scientific art, and fantasy/sci-fi. Perusing my archives can give you a good idea of where my artistic interests and strengths lie.
As always,
