Artist Annalise Neil’s work is a mesmerising fusion of science and art. Using natural dyes like wild strawberry leaf and oak gall, she infuses her cyanotypes with rich earth tones, creating dreamy landscapes that are both scientific records and poetic reflections.

Melding the tangible memories of nature with the ethereal realm of mixed media, Neil’s creations evoke a sense of awe and contemplation. Her process, described as an intricate dance involving hiking, photography, and meticulous handcrafting, results in stunning visual narratives that resonate deeply.

Residing at Volcan Mountain Foundation this year, Neil’s work explores the delicate balance between human existence and natural elements. Through her cyanotypes, she leads viewers on a journey of discovery, prompting us to reflect on our relationship with the environment around us.

Currently showcased in various exhibitions across Southern California, Neil’s art invites all who encounter it to slow down, observe, and contemplate their own connection to nature. Her work is more than just visual; it’s an invitation to engage with the world more mindfully.
