Eleanor Love Peters
Growing up across three continents and learning to speak four languages taught me early on that beauty is a universal language. For a long time, my creativity expressed itself through music—playing the piano and violin—and through the precise art of pastry baking. In fact, fine art and opening a pastry shop were always neck-and-neck contenders for my life's passion.After spending time as a kindergarten teacher, I chose to step away from the classroom to homeschool my three daughters. It was during these quiet, intentional years of teaching that my relationship with the natural world truly deepened. Together, we didn't just look at nature—we learned to observe it.That patient observation is what flows into my botanical watercolor paintings today. Through vibrant colors and soft light, I capture the intricate, peaceful details of the world around us.
This Artist is Participating In:
...the creation of a project deeply rooted in my lifelong love for the natural world. Having grown up across three continents, I discovered early on that nature and beauty are universal languages. After years of expressing my creativity through classical music, pastry baking, and teaching, I stepped away to homeschool my three daughters. It was during those intentional years of patient observation right here in Alberta that my relationship with the natural world truly blossomed into the watercolor paintings I create today.What Your Support Helps Me Create:I am currently developing a comprehensive Edmonton & Central Alberta Nature Study Guide & Watercolor Journal designed for local families, schools, and homeschoolers.
