The Natural World, My Inspiration

Living in the woodlands of Southern Illinois, I am inspired by the creatures that inhabit our 20 acres, whether they be Coyotes, Foxes, Beavers, Hawks, Eagles or Crows. I identify with their struggle to survive in this chaotic world. In this the Year of the Horse, an animal that I grew up with is now providing me a vehicle for expression also. The following images are taken on our property. The past 35 years, I’ve added flowers and native shrubs that you see below.
