Landscape as Muse III

Landscape as Muse III

There has always been a special relationship between artists and their environment. What is it about nature that inspires art? In this series, we meet sculptors, painters, carvers, photographers and other artists, as they create a work of art in beautiful and often remote natural locations. Audiences enjoy a rare opportunity to witness an artist at work, while the artists themselves offer insight into their inspiration and influences.
