A Creative Walkabout with Sarah Hall / by Michael Winters

For painter and puppet-maker Sarah Hall, going to the woods every day is all the inspiration she needs to generate new ideas and thoughts. Whether having a walkabout or watching a cicada hatch, the outdoors sparks shapes and stories inside her that become large tree rubbings and plein air painting puppets, inspiring kids (and adults!) to be curious explorers of their communities as well.
