The world today has been shaped by human emotion andinteraction, bringing both positive improvement and turmoil.One thing that will always remain constant is the beauty of whatis left when you lose the freeways and infrastructure. Naturehas a profound effect of joy on its viewer, and a few artists have

successfully incorporated this beauty into their work.Artists such as Leslie Shows and Don Ray have taken scenesfrom the movie of nature and portrayed them in the best lightfor the viewer. They depict landscapes, above and below water,in their best light to please their audience. Other artists likeCarrie Anne Baade, Julie Heffernan, and Lori Field choose to

take items from nature and combine them with human figureand unrelated things to contrast the beauty of the naturalobjects. The natural world is a great entity to depict throughartwork, and with its depiction, the viewer experiences feelingsof awe and relaxation.
