“Stories of faith and promise still emanate from the walls of this abandoned church on the Great Plains of South Dakota ... the serenity of our natural surroundings is the primary emphasis of my fine art photography. As a child, daily treks into the landscape on foot or by horseback fed my curiosity of nature. Raised in a creative and musical household I was encouraged to see the beauty of our surroundings and how that beauty can be transposed for the eye and the ear. I strive to share the resulting images in hopes of inspiring others to see beauty, metaphor, and meaning.”
