Erica Fielder Studio interpreting our heritage by design ea veer a� � J111►' since 1983 STATEMENT OF EXPERIENCE With an MFA in Visual Art and more than 30 years of experience as an environmental and cultural interpreter and author, I bring a wealth of knowledge to planning and designing interpre- tive displays and wayside panels. Ultimately, I am a storyteller. My interpretive panels tap into an ancient human need to understand our world though the magic of image. Once you see my displays, you will remember them. They are created to speak to both heart and mind. In this way, your visitors will be most likely to fall in love with your site and care about it over time.
