We all know his name, but what do we know about his life? Vincent Van Gogh endeavored to tell his story through his work as a student then teacher, a minister and artist. Join us for this presentation by Naturalist Carol Mundy, where we will look at how nature inspired Van Gogh’s art and discuss some of his unpleasant connections to the earth, such as his exposure to naturally occurring elements, minerals and botanicals that affected his physical and mental health.
