I create visual images to capture and share my deep passion and curiosity about local history and how it has impacted our current lives. I also enjoy teaching others drawing and painting as a method of enriching the visual experience in their daily day life.
My work is steeped in a sense of place and time. All places, like people, have a history, a running narrative. I’m fascinated by how events in the past like the building of a railroad or highway, the development or abandoning of farmland through the passage of time have an influence on the present. I strive in my work to tell a story bout the people that worked and lived in a place, the past cultures and practices and the personality of the people portrayed. I hope to continue in this quest for capturing in my images the sense of place and history.
