Once Upon A Wetland: Animal Tales from the Marsh

Storytelling Evening with Ane Carla Rovetta

$10 adults, $5 children (suitable for 5 years and older)

Come and listen to master storyteller Ane Carla Rovetta as she shares stories from the old days when animals could talk and magic filled the marsh.  Pull up a chair in beautiful and cozy Heron Hall and soak up this special evening, complete with tea and snacks.

Ane Carla is a local science illustrator, field biologist, storyteller, and teacher of cultural uses of plants and nature crafts.  Using a technique termed “theme telling,” Ane Carla ties her stories together with an underlying message.  She has a mesmerizing method of storytelling that captures her audience as she weaves tales using her knowledge of science and art.

Adding to the special ambiance of the evening will be Ane Carla’s special art exhibit “Once Upon a Wetland” on display in Heron Hall (January 7-March 24, 2014).  This art exhibit will feature beautiful soil and pastel paintings with scenes created out of the soils of California and the West, as well as soil and milk paint animals and paper made out of cattail grass. 

Trained as a zoologist, Ane Carla Rovetta combines science and art in her paintings, handmade art materials, and public performances.  An illustrator since 1978, Ane’s artwork can be seen in five books and many scientific and educational periodicals. 

Don’t miss this special evening of art, earthy tales, and more!
