HEALING POWER OF NATURE SHOWN ON GLASS

Skyline Design has deliberately brought together three inspirational artists to display their organic art onto glass for a new collection called Botanica. I had the pleasure of traveling with the very cool woman from Skyline that helped to compile this collection. The mission here is to aid interior designers and architects in designing spaces that motivate the healing process whether it be a scary hospital or a stressful corporate conference room. Please check out the artists below to see how their art inspires meditation, healing and stress relief in places that often create fear and stress.

The three featured artists:
Henry Domke was a physician for 25 years before he decided to focus solely on nature photography that inspires healing. Skyline Design purchased three of his nature photographs that can be manipulated in innumerable ways to create new designs. To view his creations, learn about the artist, see the land that he is preserving and feel his passion for nature visit his website at http://www.henrydomke.com/.

Zeva Oelbaum is a New York-based still-life photographer and executive producer for an award winning documentary film. For the Botanica collection she demonstrates the Victorian era's photographic cataloguing technique called cyanotype. It appears much like a blueprint of organic items. To see the three cyanotype images go to Skyline's website at http://www.skydesign.com/. To learn more about Zeva, her crisp still-life photos, or the documentary visit http://www.zevaphoto.com/.

Steven Meyers spent 30 years as a medical x-ray technologist and is a native resident of Washington state. He now uses radiographs to expose organic life forms such as flowers and leaves. The translation of his photographs onto glass can look like soft, flowing fabric. Please visit Steven's website to investigate an interesting and creative new art form at http://www.xray-art.com/.

Skyline Design has truly brought together an amazing tool for architects and designers through Botanica. They can now use glass as art to inspire calm, stress free areas .

How about furniture that is healthy for the little buggers? Check out Skyline Design's new line appropriately titled GREENPLAY. Get it? GREEN because it is sustainable and PLAY because it is children's furniture. I think it is a brilliant name.

The line encompasses sustainable products such as FSC wood, recycled, renewable and low impact materials. The coatings have low VOC or no VOC emissions. The products are shipped flat and packaged in recyclable packaging.

GREENPLAY will even re purpose the components at the end of its life and then donated to a charity.
