Skirting the Crevasse
Watercolor and Colored Pencil, 2015
Skirting the Crevasse is a watercolor inspired by my field sketches and experience working on North Cascade glaciers in Washington. Here three members of the North Cascade Glacier Project, including my father Dr. Mauri Pelto, founder and expedition leader, my brother Ben Pelto, and field assistant Justin Wright are depicted hiking around a gaping crevasse on Lynch Glacier, Mt. Daniel.
