the artist with wanderlust… musing & artwork by Amanda Palmer & PHOTOPIA
The Day of the Fox
As the leaves fall from the trees and the frost hits the north country our scenes turn more monochromatic. There is a peace in the simplicity of the winter landscape… Soothing browns, golds, whites combined with the blue of the sky or layers of gray clouds. Once the snow flies and the snow geese leave us everything becomes more quiet.
Just two weeks ago autumn was in it’s final throes here – the loud cry of the leaves was irresistible! These photos were taken at the Jardin Botanique on what I am calling ‘the day of the fox’… The wonderful day I met my fox spirit outside the First Nations garden. He makes an appearance here – along with a chilly and slow-moving koi fish.

I'm a visual artist, graphic designer and photographer with a diverse background and many interests… In my thirty-year career as an artist I have prioritized experiential learning over pursuing an advanced degree.
I have continually honed my skills as a teacher of art, outdoor ethics, and computer arts such as InDesign and Photoshop. For many years I have taught relief printing to students of all ages through residencies, summer camps, and community arts programs. I have owned my own gallery and arts studio – along the way hanging and curating numerous art exhibits. These paths have pushed me into graphic design, exhibit design and to a career as a museum Director/Curator. I make a living from my art and in my own way hope to spread my form of stewardship of the earth through my work and words.
I create my own unique Place-Based art – translating my flashes of wonder and impressions of a place onto the printed page through the laborious and time-consuming ancient technique of relief printing.
