Great Lake Swimmers - I Saw You in the Wild - Suzanne Tetrault


Art for Art's second contribution is made by Suzanne Tetrault who takes her inspiration from the track "I Saw You in the Wind" by the Great Lake Swimmers. Artist, photographer and blogger, Suzanne's photo of her friend Paige takes us back to summer and keeps us warm on this cold November night. Here are Suzanne's thoughts on the track and the inspiration she drew from it:

Great Lake Swimmers are a Canadian band from Wainfleet, Ontario that have come to define the genre of melodic folk. The quiet, rhythmic melody of "I Saw You in the Wild" is unassuming but pulses slowly with guitar and the soft voice of lead singer Tom Dekker. It brings to mind wild forests with dense underbrush that snaps quietly under your feet, and the calm harmony of a quiet wood. It is the feeling of silently walking through the untouched forest with streaks of light leaking through the trees but a perpetual chill resting like dew on your skin.

Here is the track:


Suzanne Tetrault recently graduated university with a Bachelor of Applied Interior Design and is now working as an interior designer in Calgary, AB. Suzanne has many passions that manifest themselves in her style, her work and her attitude. The many rooms of her heart are occupied by photography, food (although she's a celiac), soccer, summer (go figure), traveling, and her friends. She is responsible for my life in the event of a zombie apocalypse. 

Here is Suzanne's photograph:
