What’s Underneath: Landscape, Character, Secrets

Claudia Putnam lives in Western Washington with two huskies and a ticked-off cat. Before that, she spent decades on the Colorado Plateau. She was born and raised in New England. Her work focuses on the intensities of the these bioregions and the people who live inside them. Currently, she is exploring the tension between the serenity of the PNW coastlines & forests and the seething underlayer of magma and tectonic collision.
