Photos

As I travel my camera is never far from me.  I rely upon the reference images I take in the construction of my sculptures and drawings.  Only recently have I begun to frame these photos and display them with my other work.

Vernacular architecture has become of more interest to me.  These grain elevators are outside Winifred, MT -- the area where my father was born. Taken Sept. 2015 while doing family history research.
