Faulkner reaches inside her boots to get rid of the snow that made its way inside. Despite spending half an hour walking in the knee-deep snow, Faulkner said her feet are usually warm.

Faulkner stops and contemplates the design she draws on the snow. “It’s not really a conscious decision,” Faulkner said. “I just draw when inspiration strikes.”

Faulkner uses her feet to create drawings in the snow. Faulkner said it usually takes her half an hour to an hour to draw something, depending on the design. “The longest I’ve ever done was three hours, but that was only once,” she said.
