Langley Sieve
My name is Langley Sieve and I am currently in my senior year at St. Lawrence University studying Environmental Studies and Philosophy with minors in Biology and Outdoor Studies. I grew up on the short but sweet coastline of New Hampshire in a town called Portsmouth. Growing up I spent a lot of time by the ocean swimming and exploring coastal ecosystems, but as I got older, I found myself yearning to explore other landscapes beyond the coast. When I went to college, I took advantage of opportunities hiking and skiing in the North Country.
Creating Art with Nature
Nature gives us great inspiration for creating art - full of beautiful colors and patterns that let our imagination run wild! Join Nature Up North to take that inspiration one step further and create art from objects found in nature! We'll take a short hike down to Lampson Falls, where we'll use what we find in the environment around us to create an on-the-spot art gallery. Freshly fallen leaves, pine needles, sticks, pinecones, and whatever can be found without permanently disturbing the environment are all up for grabs as art mediums!
