its a series Im dedicating to my Dad--who, amongst other things like a flat chest and long torso--gave me a passion for adventure, travel, and a love for God.
He, next to my hippie (very hip) mother was the one who introduced me at a young age to the battlefields of Gettysburg and the gravestones of New England marking the life and death of leaders of our past;
mountains of
Colorado
wide open sky of
Montana
Yosemite and its Mighty Neck
Bison of the Dakotas
from there I traveled the world, much to my Fathers dismay.
Did you know, Dad? I always thought you were hardcore
you skied in jeans with minimal layering and almost died in a flood in Estes Park
what more could a daughter want in a Father
a Father passionate about jazz, beer, prayer
God.
i believe it is the things we view as bigger than us that make us passionate
they make us chase
keep us going
and also, places that take the breath out of us.
These images, these paintings are a symbol of that
and I pray you find the same thing greater than yourself that I have found that will make you chase, turn back from bad decisions, thirsty for beauty
like I have.
