BIOME PRESS

Botanicals by Amanda Verbeck

 

Prints with a Purpose

 

Art and history, science and nature, social and environmental justice, community and family. My environment — my own personal biome.

​

Everybody does botanicals. It’s all been done before. But there’s more to it than that.

​

In an effort to give back, 10% of all Biome Press sales are donated to non-profits that are part of my biome. Each print series will support a different cause here in St. Louis, MO. These organizations and groups are all doing amazing work close to my home, both physically and emotionally. Details are listed in the gallery with each print.

Down the Rabbit Hole and Back Up Again

 

We all slowed down during the pandemic. I started gardening as part of my slow down…with varying degrees of success. I’m using native plants and being more aware of my impact on the world around me, the earth and the people around me. I have no idea how I’m doing, really. But I’m cultivating empathy, and I’m trying to be better (not best).

​

Revisiting my more traditional drawing roots (yes, pun intended) is good for my soul, and my goal is to share something positive with those around me. Share some of your own good and find ways to give back to your biome as well!
