Paintings
"Snow and Ginger", from the permanent collection of Peru
State College, Peru, Nebraska.
The artist's statement: " When I paint, I want to share
with the viewer my experience, my emotional recollection of a
moment gone forever. I never aim to startle. I want to arouse
second looks - to have the viewer walk with me and to feel the
grass and the wind. In sculpting, I try to express the great love
I have for the wildlife of the plains. For a sculpture to be
successful, however, I feel, I have to capture that critical
moment in nature when time stood still. "
