The webpage "Selected Projects" on Lerjen Tours' website presents a curated overview of specialized walking and cultural tours primarily located in Iceland. These projects emphasize immersive experiences that combine natural landscapes with cultural heritage, showcasing routes and itineraries designed to explore Iceland’s unique geography, history, and folklore. The descriptions include details about the thematic focus of each project, such as historical pathways, religious pilgrimages, and nature-based routes, reflecting an integration of landscape and cultural geography. Each selected project is detailed with specific attention to its geographical setting, cultural significance, and historical context, illustrating the connection between place and narrative. The site also highlights collaborative efforts and research activities linked to academic or local cultural institutions, situating the tours within a broader framework of cultural preservation and interpretation. These projects collectively articulate a walking art approach, where movement through the landscape is used as a method of engaging with and understanding cultural environments.

Over the past 25 years my professional life has been a blend of practice and academia. I have worked with design firms in Boston, Seattle, Denver, and San Francisco, and have taught in a variety of disciplinary programs across the country. My professional practice includes: landscape architecture, community planning, and public art and cultural planning. I currently live in Boulder, Co (+ Albuquerque, NM). I am a Visiting Associate Professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder, in Environmental Design, and a Faculty Affiliate, Center of the American West. As well, I am a Faculty Affiliate in the Dept. of Geography & Environmental Studies at UNM.

This collaborative walking art project will investigate reconsiderations of place through the practices of Fuller, Hicklin and Hill exploring how physical and cultural histories influence connection to landscape.
