Finding Peace in Nature
A snow drawing on TNC's Carpenter Ranch
About 40 volunteer artists met at the historic Carpenter Ranch in Hayden to create a community snow drawing on The Nature Conservancy's conserved haymeadow next to the Yampa River. The theme for this installation was "Finding Peace in Nature," and artists walked their own spirals, swirls and snowshoe-fueled embellishments to the landscape surrounding a giant peace sign that artists placed in the center of the community's design.
During the day, two drone pilots, Justin Hirsch and Gustavo Lozada, filmed the artists' work, capturing the process and the final installation in these videos.
