Author Bio
Dr. Margaret Colquhoun studied zoology and genetics with agricultural acience at Edinburgh University in the 1960s and worked there as a Research Associate in the 1970s on questions of population genetics and evolutionary biology. Later on, still carrying questions into the reality and relationship of taxonomy and evolution, she spent four years in the Carl Gustav Carus Institute in OEschelbronn in Germany and at the Natural Science Section in Dornach, Switzerland learning to use the Goethean scientific methodology. Since then she has both taught and researched extensively using Goethean science in Britain with a special interest in landscape, medicinal plants and animal evolution. She is also the director of the Pishwanton Project of the Life Science Trust, an Educational Charity working on environmental issues in South East Scotland. Axel Ewald studied sculpture and art education at Alanus School of Art in Germany. He has taught sculpture, drawing, Goethean observation and art history for more than twenty years in Germany, Great Britain, the United States, and Israel. He has been a member of staff at Emerson College in Great Britain for five years. In cooperation with biologist Margaret Colquhoun, Axel developed a series of Goethean science and art courses in Great Britain as well as New Eyes for Plants, a workbook for drawing and plant observation, which he co-wrote and illustrated. Axel lives in Kibbutz Harduf in Israel, where he founded the Way of the Arts Visual Arts Training Course. He works as a sculptor and environmental artist and has exhibited in Germany, Great Britain and Israel. His work can be seen at www.axelewald.com
