Tiny Worlds of the Appalachian Mountains: Artist Talk & Gallery Opening

with Rosalie Haizlett

Saturday, May 24 | 6 - 7 pm

Join nature author and illustrator Rosalie Haizlett for an artist talk and gallery opening focused around her new book and traveling art exhibit, Tiny Worlds of the Appalachian Mountains: An Artist’s Journey. Tiny Worlds chronicles Rosalie’s 6-month journey from Alabama to Newfoundland as she hiked daily and looked for small, often-overlooked flora, fauna, and fungi. She painted and wrote about her observations along the way, and the finished book includes more than 150 watercolor paintings and illustrated maps. This book is a celebration of Appalachian biodiversity and an invitation to tune into our natural surroundings in a deeper way. Attendees will get a behind-the-scenes look at her adventures and artwork and the opportunity to participate in a Q&A following the talk. Book signing to follow with books available for purchase from Malaprops Bookstore.
