Journey North
Exploring Iceland 

Winter Ptarmigan_ Barcomb.jpg

 In 2018 we took our children to a class at the Elf School to learn more about Icelandic culture. We learned there are 13 types of spirits in Iceland, which also helped inspire this Winter scene during my artist residency on  Hrísey island.

During the residency, I loved watching the Ptarmigans, which flocked beneath my studio window every morning.
