A Man of the Trees

For more than thirty years, Tom Zetterstrom has photographed the natural beauty of the Berkshire Mountains near his home. Trees have been a favourite subject for the artist - whose works have been shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Corcoran Gallery and the Getty Museum of Art. Mr. Zetterstrom may be know as much for his environmental activism as he is for his art. Noting the pressure of development on the wild lands in the region, the artist was inspired to work for environmental protection early on in his career.

Mr. Zetterstrom laments that the environmental work has taken on such great importance that he does not have time to devote to his art, but his work on both fronts will help preserve the beauty of the Berkshires.
