Artist's Description
Did you know that a lichen is actually two creatures living together in symbiosis? The algae produces sugars from sunlight that nourish the fungus, which in turn shelters the algae from heat and drying out. Lichen fungi may have been Earth's earliest farmers, figuring out how to cultivate their crops. If you were very very small, you could play inside a lichen. Single-celled algae - would come greet you. You could hang from threads of the fungus like an acrobat. Inspired by a cross-section view of a lichen. ATTENTION: Painting is best reproduced on SMOOTH PAPER, NOT CANVAS OR TEXTURED PAPER.
About Shoshanah Dubiner

While much art depicts the world at the human scale (landscapes, portraits, apples in a bowl) I often start with cell membranes, the inside of cells, the silk spigots of spiders, lichens — the world of the tiny. By depicting natural forms in an imagined, mythical world, my paintings reveal the human psyche and its capacity to go beneath the surface of things; to experience beauty and awe and even fear; to understand that we humans are connected to all the other creatures on earth and even to the cosmos. I enjoy observing and reading about nature, but I am not a scientific illustrator in the conventional sense. I do study my subject matter...
