For more than seventy years University of Saskatchewan's Emma Lake Campus has been a meeting place for artists and thinkers from around the world. Saskatoon painter Degen Lindner invites us to her art studio at Emma Lake where she discusses how her father and nature inspire her artwork. Lindner works on ink sketches and plein air oil paintings that are inspired by the natural beauty of this landscape. She explains how she has grown as a landscape painter and what art means to her and to sustaining the environment.
