Stories of Yellowstone in Art and Writing...
|
The Artists Field Guide to Yellowstone is a nature guide to Yellowstone’s wildlife told through the words and artwork of fifty of the region’s most distinguished storytellers. Simultaneously an exhibit of beautiful, diverse artwork and a thoughtful anthology of original prose and poetry, the book showcases profound reflections on nature, community, and place, as considered against the wild backdrop of Greater Yellowstone. Yellowstone naturalist, artist, and educator Katie Christiansen has crafted a creative yet robust take on a traditional field guide, incorporating a field guide's expected natural history elements with more artful, at times whimsical, storytelling.
Equal parts sensible field guide and elegant art book, The Artists Field Guide to Yellowstone enriches the reader’s understanding and appreciation of this world-renowned place through imaginative, engaging, and informative depictions of the iconic Yellowstone ecosystem. The Artists Field Guide to Yellowstone is being published by Trinity University Press and is a project of Home to Roam Conservation.
