Boston artists Susan Heideman and Michelle Lougee both offer a very creative view of natural forms --organisms, plants, minerals and micro to macro. They discuss their individual artistic approaches to Nature's variety, which are currently on display at the Maud Morgan Arts Chandler Gallery in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Heideman and Lougee also describe some similarities in the way that artists and scientists look at Nature. Both artists are motivated by concern for the environment and the structural beauty of natural forms. Their commitment is reflected in their respective artistic projects.
