Exploring the Creative Frontiers of the Mind Through Art
This week in our EXPLORING NEW FRONTIERS, WomanScape travels virtually through the eyes of 19th century National Geographic writer, Eliza Scidmore and 21st century multimedia artist, Arica Hilton.
Both women creatively inform our minds and hearts with the awe-inspiring beauty of our great blue marble. Eliza brought more than 3,000 famed Japanese cherry trees to Washington, D.C. in 1912 as an accidental diplomat and a groundbreaking travel writer for National Geographic.

Modern-day artist, Arica Hilton is a luminescent advocate for our oceans. In 2018, Arica traveled to Indonesia with Ocean Geographic to deep sea dive and examine the state of plastic pollution. The expedition inspired her new art series, Elysium, which will travel to Beijing and Singapore next month.
We hope you are inspired every day by women making history and that you enjoy our Tuesday art cards and Thursday video features. Don’t forget to shop our WS Boutique portal to support what we do too. You’ll discover great books and products around women making history.
