Artist Statement

 

   The name of this show is Northerly, which is the name of our family farm. I love this place. It has been here all my life. When I go away it is there to come back to. It holds my childhood and my growing up. My mother and father. It is discovery, peace and wonder. Mud puddles, fishing, walks and bugs. Birds, deer, snapping turtles and coyotes. Cows and rabbits. Horses and fish. Frogs. There is the smell of cedar, grass, flowers, wind, rain, drifts of snow, too hot, too cold. Voices of the past. Everything that is life.

   Over all of this torrent of things and loves is Nature, mysterious and wonderful. The low hum of the wavelength of life.
