Artist Bev Doolittle.  Look her work up!  

Tip about rock balancing: I gave such a dumb explanation of the balanced rocks in the video. The balanced rocks I mention in the video can be made for different purposes including trail marking.  It is very important not to make them all over the place as it can confuse hikers.  Balanced rock art is different and usually just made for a photo and then removed (which is what I like to do) but be careful about picking up rocks that might disturb the landscape and little creatures living beneath!
