One of my first stops in London was the Victoria and Albert Museum. At the V&A museum there is an exhibition on the author Beatrix Potter called Beatrix Potter: Drawn to Nature. This exhibition highlights Potter’s love for nature and how it inspired her iconic works such as The Tales of Peter Rabbit, The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, and The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher. Nature fueled Potter’s creativity from a young age. As a child she would spend hours in nature drawing fungi, insects, animals, and plants. Her happy place was out in nature and where her passion for storytelling was born. Nature not only fueled her creativity but her activism as well.
