Artist Nina Elder, a native of Colorado Springs who now lives in New Mexico, is a part of the new exhibition “Atomic Landscapes” at Colorado College’s IDEA Space.

In this audio interview, she spoke about why she's drawn to do photo-realistic drawings of landscapes that have been manipulated by human industry and the military.

Elder will also deliver a lecture and slide show titled “Nonlinear Creative Research: From Piles of Rocks to Polar Bears” at the GOCA 121 downtown gallery next Monday, April 4 at 7 p.m.
