What is Intenature Art?

Intenature is a regenerative art practice that combines creativity with environmental responsibility. Every work is made using materials gathered from the natural world — handmade paper, clays, charcoal pigments, and repurposed framing. Intenature Art also introduces a unique approach to valuing art: a dual-payment system combining a financial payment with a commitment to complete real, verified environmental work. Every artwork becomes a collaboration between the artist, the buyer, and the Earth itself to ensure each artwork gives back more than it takes.

How the Dual-Payment System Works

1. Choose Your Artwork
Select an original Intenature piece from the gallery or request a commission.

2. Financial Payment
Pay the listed price, which reflects the labour and the handmade, natural process behind each work.

3. Environmental Contribution
Complete a small amount of environmental work — usually five hours — such as tree planting, habitat restoration, weed removal or community clean-ups.

4. Share Your Contribution
Send a photo or short note documenting your completed work.
Your activity becomes part of the growing Intenature impact story.
