Coeur d'Alene photographer Linda Lantzy has been selected as the 2015 Artist in Residence for Idaho's state parks, sponsored by Friends of Idaho State Parks.
Lantzy spends much of her time in Idaho's great outdoors. This summer she will be spending more of it in state parks capturing the natural beauty of the "Jewels of the Gem State." Lantzy's work will be featured at events sponsored by the Friends of Idaho State Parks, and will be available to the public.
"We will be selecting an Artist in Residence each year as a way to promote the parks and the work of Idaho artists. We're especially pleased to be working with Linda as our first artist. We know her work well from her calendars and Idaho scenic prints," said Rick Just, president of the Boise-based Friends of Idaho State Parks.
This fall, Lantzy will teach a photography workshop in at least one of the parks.
