Ten artists have begun a journey. The goal is one of self-discovery and greater interaction with the earth and its eccentricities. They seek inspiration from mother earth in using the elements and principals of art in the world outside their studios. The artists will visit nine different sites, each with its own unique story to tell. From the beautiful red vistas of Sedona to the mystical walls of Canyon De Chelly, the artists will attempt to sense and feel the unique message provided by each site.

Our assignment is to complete one piece of art for each site. This place on the web is being provided so that those willing can share their finished pieces with their fellow classmates. It is hoped that this sharing will inspire us and promote dialogue amoung us.
