If you purchase a Georgia O'Keefe painting, your expectation is that O'Keefe painted it. If you go to a Stones concert, you expect to see the Rolling Stones, not a cover band that looks like them. If you buy a novel, you expect the author whose name is on the cover wrote it. If you are collecting my work, you are getting my work, no one else's.

My earliest memories are of sunlight reflecting off the surface of the Lake, the texture of sand, and endless summer days. I was born in the Midwestern U.S. and spent the best parts of my childhood in a cottage on Lake Wawasee, Northern Indiana. It was at the Lake, and along midwestern creeks and forests, where I first learned what the Navajo mean when they say "we walk in beauty". I have been lucky enough to have spent a good part of my life walking in beauty, and trying to show that beauty to others through my work.
