Lives and works in Saint Paul, Minnesota/Laurin, Montana

Artist statement

Beginning | You simply have to start. A new body of work that celebrates lives woven with the land. Throughout my life as a shepherd, in the wilds of Montana, I’ve hosted many who are starving for an authentic connection and are drawn to the land for nourishment. Returning to my hometown, I witness the disconnect. This work offers a portal to the land that continues to define me. I work with the camera, brush, and nature to create pieces that simply give me joy. The memory of making the pieces whether it's scribing language in the landscape, seeing the images come to life on wood, or thru a viewfinder...is as vital as breathing.
