Episode 2- Framing Nature and Sound: Rick Stockwell & Gerry Putnam

In Episode 2 of Creative Buzz, we celebrate the intersection of visual and audio artistry with two creative powerhouses from the Lake Sunapee Region.

First, we sit down with beloved photographer Rick Stockwell, founder of the Naturally New England Art Show, now in its 8th year in partnership with the Center for the Arts. Rick shares how the show has grown into a cherished regional tradition, highlighting the beauty of our natural world through the eyes of local artists. This year, a special barn exhibit has been added in tribute to the film Vanishing, a compelling visual exploration of America’s disappearing historic buildings. The Center for the Arts will present the film, featuring the work of photographer Jim Westphalen, on July 13 at 7 PM.

In the second half of the episode, we delve into the world of sound with Gerry Putnam, master sound producer and owner of CedarHouse Sound. With decades of experience in music and audio recording, Gerry shares insights into the art and science of capturing sound—from the acoustics of a room to the soul of a performance.

Join us for a rich conversation that honors the beauty of place, preservation, and the power of both sight and sound.
