Wild at the Edges: Inspiration from a Creative Life.
Artist Statement
The underlying themes of my artwork are complexity built from simplicity, the contrast of an eternal Nature with the brevity of human life, and the endless recycling of organic matter from death to life and back again.
The seventeen trips I have taken with my sister in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (a million acres of lakes and forests along the Minnesota/Canadian border) have greatly influenced the direction of my artwork in recent years. The Boundary Waters series is grounded in place, emotion, and memory.
