Nature at Work

In Hummingbird’s recent post commemorating Earth Day, we discussed looking to nature for solace and hope. Perhaps even more so this past year, we turned to nature to restore and recharge.

Meryl Spiegel’s work almost always points us in this direction. Meryl recently compiled her new Nature at Work gallery on her website. It’s a beautiful series, and today is the perfect day to view this collection of works in watercolor and gouache. Click here to view the complete Nature at Work series.

“Inspired by nature and the patterns of life, light and color, these paintings of my immediate surroundings are infused by the belief that if we embrace and trust the universe, it will continue to provide and sustain us.” Meryl Spiegel

Meryl Spiegel

Meryl Spiegel is a photographic artist, whose work reflects her relentless curiosity whether she is on the street, in the fields or by the water. A former journalist for The New York Times with an MFA in Creative Writing, she now focuses primarily on her artwork, but is thrilled to share her thoughts here about how her creative life continues to evolve and expand.

“I picked up a camera years ago thinking it was the only way I could render humanity and its wonders,” she recalls. “Then three years ago, I began to draw and ultimately paint, not knowing I could.”

Also an educator, Meryl teaches photography as well as yoga, a passion that fuels her creativity off the mat. Regularly, she conducts photographic workshops at East End Arts. Last year the Center Moriches Library was awarded a grant from the NY State Council on the Arts to fund a Composition class conducted by Meryl and offered free to its patrons. This summer and fall, she will be conducting more classes at the library.

Meryl lives with her husband, Steven, and her hound dog, Copper, in East Quogue —where she raised her two daughters, Lauren, a Westhampton real estate agent, and Jaclyn, a financial analyst in Manhattan.
