A lot has happened for this edition. In edition 10 and 9 I not only published on Issuu, but also with Foleon. That was a great experience and I saw there were many ways I could make our magazine more interactive. So when I found Maglr I thought that this would be the next step. 

I contacted Berry van Elk, owner of Maglr to see if we could collaborate. I’m so happy that he liked the idea. For this edition I also did an edition in Maglr. It was a real eye opener and a true creative journey! Do check this version out for yourselves and let me know what you think!

My good friend in art and nature, Merel Slootheer, who also writes an amazing column within our magazine, suggested an exposition where she presented her own work. ‘An insect world’ was a great and unique showcase of talent from different artists, who in their own way, are inspired by insects.

A very important article in this edition is the honoring of Joe Etty who sadly passed away earlier in the summer. I was introduced to his work at the first exposition of Joe, Randy Etty, and Katia Plewnia called ‘Lust for life’ of. Randy, his son, and Katia decided to go ahead with a scheduled exhibition sharing the results of their latest collaborations.

I am always so happy when artists share their work to be presented in Art by Nature. This edition Jordan Kim shows her amazing talent incorporating a variety of repurposed papers and media into her work. This edition also gives Laura Hall the opportunity to share her vision of how magical the world is and why we should treat it with love and respect. Many thanks again to Stephen King, a lecturer in media at Middlesex University Dubai and his students for continuing to help me edit the articles for Art by Nature magazine.

Thank you and enjoy edition 9!
