Mona Marshall is a visual artist currently living in Austin, Texas and Saturna, B.C., who has always had an interest in the relationship of the natural world with human enterprise. “Heaven,” “Dry Earth,” and the “Weather” drawings were each explorations of our place in the natural world, and our impact on it.
