By Diane Chase Long Lake , N.Y.  Winter Carnival Schedule Long Lake native and artist   Matt Burnett   is bringing one element of his art back to his hometown with fellow artist   Scott Fuller . Each has enjoy their own personal artistic successes within their favored medium but continue to stretch personal boundaries with the use of nature’s elements to mold snow and ice with light to create a temporary outdoor art exhibit. “We like to find a way to represent the flow of nature. I like to do something that will stir up the pot and make people think about what is natural and what is artificial,” say Burnett. “The exhibit will be in two to three locations around Long Lake. It is nice to be able to bring something back to my hometown. They are supportive of new ideas in this small community.”
