Much of my recent work has been influenced by living and working in rural Vermont. Each day I hike or snow shoe in the meadow, along the river or in the surrounding woods. I listen to the sounds of nature, see the details of the plants and landscape from close up – all of this has affected the way in which I think about and understand my environment.
