As an art teacher, she shows students how to be in touch with that part of them selves which generates creative ideas.

As a child Marty learned dowsing from her Lithuanian grandfather, Frank Witkus. In 1986 she attended the American Society of Dowser’s school and convention in Danville, Vermont and added formalized dowsing training to her life.

She researches ancient sacred sites in Europe and America discovering what makes specific places sacred and recreates that experience for others today. Integrating art and geomancy, she amplifies the potential of site-specific art and invokes wide public participation in Earth healing attitudes.

A life member of the American Society of Dowsers, Marty co-directed the Beginning Dowsing School for six years. She presents labyrinth and dowsing workshops, consults, writes, and collaborates with the earth energy and angelic realms to co-create contemporary sacred spaces for individuals and institutions. She has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Blanche E. Colman Foundation, the Edna St. Vincent Millay Colony and Boreal/Art/Nature of Quebec, Canada.

Her art works are celebrations of nature, taking the form of site-specific environmental sculptures, smaller indoor constructions using natural elements, and photo/drawing collages of her installations and ancient sacred sites. Her labyrinth designs are located across North America (from Maine to California and Canada to Hawaii), Brazil and South Africa. She is a founding member of the Labyrinth Society.

At Clemson since 1995, Lance Howard (PhD Geography) has been teaching large sections of World Regional Geography as well as Cultural and Historical Geography to smaller groups. Howard is best described as a Humanist (as opposed to Human or Physical) Geographer, one who is interested primarily in the human experience of places and landscapes.

A student of dowsing and geomancy his research explores the intimacy of humans with the natural world. Since Dr. Howard’s responsibilities at Clemson are confined to teaching, he conducts his research through his classwork. His Creative Inquiry class, Bringing Other Clemsons to Light, has developed the Clemson Brickmaking Project and the Seven Natural Wonders of the Clemson Campus as ways to engage students more intimately with their everyday landscape.
