In addition to working as a scientific illustrator, Noel Badges Pugh creates drawings and paintings inspired by art nouveau with a sensibility for reoccurring patterns and wonder found in nature. Primarily using the mediums of ink, colored pencil, watercolor, and acrylic, these works are meant to balance the line between meditative and playful. We grow through recognizing the relationship of the parts to the sum, thereafter feeling free to step forward and explore joyously the connections of our introspective world to our immediate surroundings. Tedious repetitions turn to enlightened moments, as our awakened life force continues to surge harmoniously.
