In 2015 I was invited for a second time by ARS ET NATURA to join them, this time to the colder climes of Northern Finland.
I chose to participate in April. In the Kuusamo region the thaw begins then but there was still about a meter of snow and all the lakes are still large expanses of snow-covered thick ice.
There followed in 2017, an exhibition and presentation of the book KUUSAMO TAILA in Kuusamo, Northern Finland.
( For the catalogues >> publications)

ARS ET NATURA is the name of a group of wildlife artists of many disciplines who live and work in Italy.
All the artists are passionate naturalists, and believe in the importance of bringing through their work, better awareness of the natural world and the role of conservation today.
