The Alturas Foundation selected artist Laura McPhee as its Artist-in-Residence in 2003. The Alturas Foundation is dedicated to visual arts and American culture. McPhee worked during the next 2 years in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho, documenting the conflict between development and preservation of this striking landscape of the American West. The work is grand in scale yet personal in interpretation.
