Tamlyn Akins displays original watercolor illustrations for the children's book, In Grandpa's Woods. Though Akins is fascinated with the patterns, textures and geometry of jewelry and origami, she finds her greatest inspiration comes through an intimate relationship with nature. When drawing and painting, much time is spent in observation as she works toward a realistic representation that has an ethereal quality and a sense of depth and the infinite.
