Consistently rated the best local scavenger hunt since 2016!

Puzzling Adventures are a cross between a scavenger hunt, an adventure race, and an informative self-guided walking tour. Each adventure consists of a series of locations that you are guided to where you are required to answer a question or solve a puzzle to receive your next instruction. Compete as a group, individually or create multiple teams and race each other. Almost all of our adventures are designed to be wheelchair and stroller friendly and all are carefully crafted to be entertaining and informative with something to appeal to all ages. Complete the adventure as quickly as possible to win first place or take your time and enjoy the journey. Price is per team, not per person. Groups can be any size, but small groups are recommended for the best experience.

Show Statement:
"Like many artists who have come to New Mexico, I was immediately drawn to the distinctive Southwestern light. The beauty of the natural environment is evident to most people; however, my interest was to explore the more banal peripheral landscapes that often go unnoticed by the casual observer. I began by photographing color fields and geometric shapes. I was interested in the way light and shadow could spark complex narratives, and I quickly became aware that these isolated moments in the suburban landscape were rich with metaphor. Closed and open doors, empty parking lots and forgotten swimming pools drew me to a scene; yet it was my reactions to these objects and spaces that elicited interpretation and projection.

"As a psychotherapist, I learned the art of asking the question – in many ways, these photographs are an extension of that work. The symbols and spaces in my images are an invitation to explore a rich world that is concealed from consciousness. And the scenes are an enticement to contemplate narratives that have no remarkable life or history yet tap into something deeply familiar to our experience; often disturbing, sometimes amusing…unquestionably present."

September 1-30, 2025 Cazenovia Artisans 39 Albany Street
Cazenovia Artist Reception: September 5 from 5-7 p.m.

Aquatint is a printmaking technique that produces tonal effects by using acid to etch into the printing plate, creating sunken areas that hold the ink.

“Sometimes new art forms fall right into your lap. I learned intaglio techniques, including etching and aquatinting, while working at Hamilton College. Hired as an assistant in the printmaking studio, I soon realized what a fun challenge it would be to delve into this somewhat antiquated artform, mixing science with art. Over the next four years, I invested in my own printmaking studio - learning with each accident, mistake and oops. The thrill of etching is pulling the first print to see if all those layers, lines and tones come together at long last.”
