To Benefit New Territory Magazine
This piece is to benefit the mission of New Territory Magazine (bid now until October 21, 2023), a sublime publication that lifts up the lower Midwest. It started with love.

It is nearly wild flower season
Wildflowers are a true prairie gift and symbolize individuality. I think of them as good souls born of the land.

My rendition has stone texture, paint, shimmering […]

The waxy click clack on the summer warmth sounds like the ocean to […]
Flowers, Born of Land and Time

They contain the silt of the Smoky Hill river which tells the story of this place as it slowly meanders across plains collecting detritus. The piece is eroded with limestone and has stone texture, rust, sagewort ash, red earth pigment, and paint. […]
