Nature of Color

“Jermain explores the colors of Nature as she illuminates a reader's vision in this wonderful book. An artist/designer who teaches, her ability to awaken her students' minds to SEE is beautifully explored. She enhances their vision and ability to wonder.” -- Lois Swirnoff, Feltman Chair in Light 2001-02, The Cooper Union “Jermain’s perspective on color has influenced the way I view the natural world. As a marine biologist, I study biodiversity—which frequently corresponds to a diversity of colors. This powerful little book will make you stop and think twice when hiking or at home to appreciate the palette around you.” -- Kirstin Meyer-Kaiser, PhD, Associate Scientist, Biology Department, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution “This is a field guide for a reinvention of our relationship to color but it is also a guide and joyful antidote to a world grown too thin and gray from the habit of living in only two dimensions. Jermaine is a landscape artist and color designer and passionate not only about observation but about multisensory immersion in nature with a good dose of science. She entices us out, suggests the tools, method, and even what to wear to ensure unfettered experience. Indulge in this intimate invitation to understand anew the potent potential of color.” -- Valerie Fletcher, Executive Director, Institute for Human Centered Design, SOWA Art + Design District
