'I  am a native of Missouri and enjoy sharing my unique view of the Midwest through my art. I like to try to capture the
transitory effects of light and weather on the landscape that surrounds me and am a fan of images that explore a story just before or after the climax leaving the viewer to "fill in the blanks".'
