The artwork and life of Jim Denevan are awe-inspiring. His paper is the earth and his pencil a rake. The photographic images are beautiful. I would love to meet him and see what a day is like making one of his sand drawings.
He is also known for his series of dinners called Outstanding in the Field
This video shows both his art and his work with farmers presenting incredible dinners from their produce alone.
